Charles V gold Franc à cheval du Dauphine ND (1364-1380) AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Fr-Unl., Dup-359. 3.70gm. (Lis) KAROLVS : DЄI | : GRACIA : | FRAnCORV' : RЄX, armored knight on horseback galloping left brandishing a sword / + XP'C ★ VINCIT ★ XP'C ★ RЄGnAT ★ XPC ★ IMPЄRAT, cross fleurée in quadrilobe with leaves at angles, trefoils in spandrels, and dolphin at start of legend. Erroneously ascribed at Fr-285 on the label, Friedberg's example lacks the characteristic "Dauphine" for which this variety is named. Despite the noted cleaning, the piece remains in admirable condition, the leaping horse and knight donned in lis and displaying only the most trivial instances of wear. Sold with an old paper Coin Galleries flip.
