France
Louis XVIII 5 Francs 1815-A MS65 PCGS, Paris mint, KM702.1, Gad-591. Exceptionally preserved for this highly historical type, struck in the year of the second and final restoration of the Bourbon King Louis XVIII. Shimmering, watery reflectivity complements a needle-sharp strike, the satin-smooth features of the King's bust enhanced by the presence of a delicate, overlying mint frost. A hint of silver tone graces the surfaces of this wholly admirable example, which fully earns its "gem" moniker through unmistakable technical and visual prestige.
