Charles VII (1422-61) gold Écu d'or ND, 1st Emission, from 21 January 1423, Fr-306, Dup-453, MS64 NGC. + KAROLVS : DC : GRACIA : FRAnCORVM : RЄX, crowned arms of France / + XPC * VIHCIT * XPC * RЄGHAT * XPC * IHPЄRAT, cross fleurée with leaves, a star in the center; all within a quadrilobe with lis at points and crowns in spandrels. This example is unusual in that the legend is slightly blundered, DC instead of DEI. The surfaces are very choice and the tone is lovely. There is the usual ghosting of the obverse lis into the reverse devices and a tiny flan crack at 8 o'clock on the obverse. The module is almost entirely on-flan.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
