FRANCE. National Convention. Ecu, 1792-A. Paris Mint. Louis XVI (in name only). PCGS MS-64 Prooflike.
KM-615.1; Dav-1335; Gad-55. This supremely interesting transitional issue was coined during the early years of the First Republic and displays the old France with a portrait of the deposed Louis XVI on the obverse in much the fashion as old royal coinage displayed. However, the reverse displays Genius drafting the new French Constitution, a revolutionary act. This example is the only proof-like example certified by PCGS and the fields give a polished appearance that bounds and refracts light crazily. A stunning example in all ways.
Estimate: $2500 - $5000
