Louis XIII gold Louis d'Or 1640-A MS63 NGC, Paris mint, KM105, Gad-58 (R), L4L-68 (R1). Short curl (meche courte) variety with IMP legend. The first year for Louis XIII's portrait coinage in gold, boasting his youthful bust with the fleeting "Short Curl," which began issuance as part of an endeavor to supplant earlier hammered issues with modern milled pieces. Rarely witnessed in this state of preservation, the honeyed appearances permeate shimmering amber-tinged fields notably absent of larger distracting marks. A most attractive example of this scintillating type deserving of placement in an advanced cabinet.
Ex. Fernand David Collection
