FRANCE. 1/2 Ecu, 1741-A. Paris Mint. Louis XV. PCGS PROOF-64+ Gold Shield.
KM-516.1; Gad-314. Employing a deep gray tone with some subtle hints of iridescence, this dazzling minor--on the verge of Gem status--also possesses some underlying brilliance when cradled back and forth. VERY RARE in any grade, this example is not surprisingly the finest certified at either PCGS or NGC, and will certainly entrance and entice the gaze of the connoisseur.
Estimate: $15000 - $25000
