Description
Proof Louis XV Ecu of "Royal" Quality
Louis XV Proof Ecu 1740-A PR65+ NGC, Paris mint, KM512.1,
Dav-1331, Gad-322, Sobin-Unl. A striking high-end example of this
scarce Proof issue, the first in the series spanning from 1740 to
1774, featuring the beautifully coiffed, long-haired portrait of
Louis XV. A display of needle-sharp detailing leaves no doubt as to
the offering's special production, and the sheer precision of the
strike renders the issue well beyond the expected quality displayed
by the standard Ecu emissions of Louis' reign. Very nearly devoid
of handling and decidedly gem in presentation, with argent luster
that rolls across the fields upon rotation to reveal a potent
undercurrent of lilac and gold iridescence.From the Paramount Collection
Metal: Silver
Diameter: 41.5mm
