FRANCE. Ecu, 1793-BB Year 5. Strasbourg Mint. Louis XVI (in name only). PCGS MS-63.
Dav-1335A; KM-616; Gad-54. First semester (no dot) issue. VERY RARELY encountered so attractive and unhandled, this specimen is made even more desirable on account of its alluring toning, fairly sharp strike, and lack of adjustment marks--an aspect that commonly plagues the issue. Undoubtedly worthy of a strong bid and increased focus and attention. Unrivaled, this choice crown-- in addition to being from the final year in the reign of Louis XVI --stands as the only such example of the date and mint seen at PCGS.
Estimate: $12000.00- $18000.00
