Louis XIII gold 2 Louis d'Or 1640-A MS61 PCGS, Paris mint, KM108, Fr-109, Gad-59, L4L-66 (R2). 13.45gm. "IMP" in reverse legends, small head (petite tête) variety. A highly respectable representation of this pleasing type and one that's always a treat to handle in advanced preservations as is seen here. Though mild flatness populates the raised devices, this is largely obscured by wholly entrancing amber silhouettes. Precluded from finer assignments by the presence of light wisps yet of sound visual caliber that is expected to land this piece in an advanced cabinet.
