Anglo-Gallic. Henry VI (1422-1461) gold Salut d'Or ND (1422-1449) MS66 NGC, Saint Lo mint, Lis mm, Fr-301, Dup-443, Elias-271, W&F-387A 2/a. 3.50gm. (lis) hЄИRICVS: DЄI: GRA: FRACORV: Ƶ: AGLIЄ: RЄX, Virgin Mary (on left) and Archangel Gabriel (on right) standing behind shields of France and England, respectively, scroll with AVЄ (written downwards) in between, rays above / (lis) XPC ★ VIИCIT ★ XPC ★ RЄGИAT ★ XPC ★ ImPЄRAT, Latin cross within tressure, lis to left, lion to right, h below. An incredible level of preservation for this issue, which even when located in Mint State condition rarely reaches the heights seen here, only one MS67 and one MS67+ ranking finer. While clear die polish emerges on the reverse, the obverse die shows signs of being mildly worn and lightly rusty, making the production of a coin of this standard all the more noteworthy. Executed with quite fine style, and seldom surpassed.
