Choice 1720-A French Colonies Livre

1720-A French Colonies Livre d'argent fin, 1/6 ecu MS64 PCGS. Young Bust right/Crowned Back-to-back L's, Gad-296, KM-453. PCGS has incorrectly designated this piece as a 20 sols. This intricately struck and satiny near-Gem has a nearly imperceptible mark on the king's cheek, but is otherwise exemplary. In 1720, John Law was in control of the French mints, which played a major role in his ill-fated Louisiana territory land scheme. Listed on page 50 of the 2007 Guide Book.
From The Troy Wiseman Collection, Part Two.
