Louis XIII gold 2 Louis d'Or 1641-A MS62+ NGC, Paris mint, KM108, Gad-59 (R2), L4L-66 (R3). 13.46gm. A minimally available and sought-after type, one of only a handful of Double Louis d'Or from Louis XIII's prolific reign, benefitting from its fully Mint State designation which accompany so few of this vintage. Close inspection of the raised features reveals consistent clarity to Louis's hair strands, facial features, and the peripheral elements, made all the more apparent under illumination and enlivened by a luxurious mint bloom. While earlier-dated 1640 examples populate the censuses in far greater number, we note this 1641 specimen at the only uncirculated piece out of three total, making for a highly unusual opportunity for high-end collectors not to be missed.
