Charles (VII), as Dauphin, in the name of Charles VI gold Ecu d'Or a la couronne ND (1418-1422) MS63 NGC, La Rochelle mint, Fr-293, Dup-411. 4.11gm. Crowned arms flanked by two crowns / Floriated cross in quadrilobe. 1st issue (from 11 June 1419). A deceivingly rare type of Charles as Dauphin or heir-apparent, struck solely at the mint of La Rochelle. This is the first we have offered and the sole example graded by NGC, in Mint State condition no less, representing a significant rarity for the collector of medieval French gold. For reference, we note that Olivier Goujon Numismatique sold a similar example in their June 2019 auction for the equivalent of $5013.
