France
Louis XV 1/6 Ecu (20 Sols) 1720-A MS62 NGC, Paris mint, KM453, Gad-296 (R), Dup-1663. Livre d'argent fin. Few from this historic issue can claim to match the level of aesthetic quality seen here, admitting few flaws even to the most scrupulous eye. A handsome near-choice example dressed in autumnal hues peppered with cobalt and teal accents, struck by John Law for his Compagnie des Indes for use in the French Colonies. Certainly a great rarity when located this fine and problem-free, and likely to entice both French and US collectors alike.
