FRANCE. 1/4 Ecu Piefort in Quadruple Weight, 1643-A. Paris Mint. Louis XIII. NGC EF-40.
KM-P43; Gad-48 (R5). Weight: 27.21 gms. Despite being a double-weight piefort issue, this wholesome example nevertheless presents some wear across the high points. No matter, however, as the surfaces remain entirely problem-free and sport a charming gunmetal gray tone. VERY RARE in such an oversized, quadruple-weight, extra thick planchet.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
