FRANCE. 1/2 Louis d'Or, 1717-A. Paris Mint. Louis XV. NGC Unc Details--Cleaned.
Fr-451; KM-430.1 (cataloged as a Louis d'Or); Gad-335. A nicely preserved example for wear with a bold strike and crisp design elements displaying rich mottled orange patina. Upon close inspection signs of an old cleaning becomes apparent now slightly subdued by the attractive patination. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of the type with lots of detail and is pleasing to the eye.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
