Louis XV gold Louis d'Or Mirliton 1723-A UNC Details (Saltwater Damage) NGC, Paris mint, KM470.1, Gad-338, Dup-1638A. Short palms variety. Displaying a consistent matte-like quality indicative of saltwater damage noted on the holder, possibly from an existence as part of the 1725 Le Chameau shipwreck. Regardless, as-struck details abound this Mint State survivor, marred only by the aforementioned qualifier laid upon a lemon-gold planchet.
