FRANCE. Ecu, 1724-V. Troyes Mint. Louis XV. PCGS MS-65 Gold Shield.
Dav-1328; KM-459.6; Gad-319; Dupl-1665; Ciani-2107; Droulers-744; DFW-445. An écu de France of the Troyes Mint in Champagne. An astonishing survivor of this elusive date/mint combination exhibiting a bold strike with frosty devices and satiny surfaces. A fully lustrous example with a thin veneer of tone in the central areas while the peripherals remain bright. Minimal adjustment marks can be observed, but are well placed and hardly distracting. A handsome and original piece worthy of a premium bid from the specialist.
Estimate: $6000.00- $8000.00
