Description

France. 1720-A Ecu. Paris Mint. Gadoury-319. AU-55 (PCGS).

375.5 grains. Overstruck on a 1718-X ecu. Deep antique gray with beautiful pale blue and opalescent toning around the peripheries and design elements. The undertype is exceptionally bold at the peripheries, allowing for easy identification of the host. Good luster persists, and the aesthetic appeal is excellent. A particularly charming example of this majestic type, the largest silver coin of the era.

PCGS# 844669.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova Collection; John Agre and Dave Wnuck (Coin Rarities Online), via Mike Wierzba, January 2008.
