FRANCE. 1/2 Ecu, 1694-H. La Rochelle Mint. Louis XIV. NGC MS-63.
KM-295.9. The only example either grading service has certified in Mint State, this conditionally VERY RARE and gorgeous 1/2 Ecu will tantalize specialists. Dusty steel gray cabinet patina rests upon the bust and fields, while hints of gemstone coloration including amber, garnet, sapphire, and emerald embrace the devices in the protected areas. The strike is rather sharp, almost eliminating signs of an earlier type. Wear is absent from even the highest points, and both contact marks and chatter are also nonexistent.
Estimate: $400 - $600
