Description

Louis XV gold Louis d'Or de Noailles 1716-A MS63+ NGC, Paris mint, KM428.1 (listed as 2 Louis d'Or), Gad-344 (R), Fr-450. Exceptionally popular both for its iconic imagery and its short three-year mintage run, the Louis d'Or de Noailles, often mistaken for the Double Louis due to its extra heavy-weight planchets, remains a highly sought-after piece. Named after Adrien Maurice de Noailles, who served as the President of the Finance Council from 1715 to 1718, this coin reflects the rich history of its era. The present selection possesses an absolutely delightful eye-appeal, with virtually uninterrupted mint bloom decorating the fields that carry an attractive khaki patina. Presently outranked by one example at NGC by just half a point, and as such a welcome addition to any high-caliber French gold collection.
