Louis XV gold Louis d'Or 1732-D MS65 NGC, Lyon mint, KM489.6, Gad-340 (R2), L4L-478 (R3). Louis d'Or aux lunettes. An incredible grade for this typically more prolific French gold type that becomes increasingly more challenging from non-Parisian mints in the 1730's. Indeed, we have not previously offered this mint-date, and have only been able to locate two other examples in auction sales of the last 20 years. Adjusted by just two minor marks through the bust, the offering is otherwise wholly pristine, making it a truly spectacular find.
