Coin, France, Louis XVI, Ecu de Calonne, 1786, Paris, Essai in Gold, impressed from six-part collar, MS(60-62), Gold, Ciani:2204, VG:92
LUD. XVI. D. G. FR. - ET NAV. REX
SIT NOMEN DOMINI (mint mark) BENEDICTUM (mark) (date)
Remarkable example from the famous collection of King Farouk, Sotheby's, février 1954, n° 496 ("probably unique"), then from the Paramount collection. NGC UNC DETAILS SCRATCHES (6066353-005). An exceedingly rare example, missing from public collections, a true museum piece. Although sometimes encountered in silver, no other example struck in gold is known, confirming that this is either a unique example (as assumed in the original Farouk catalog), or one of the few existing examples as such. Clearly struck as a proof, the fields exhibit a glass-like reflectivity, easily visible under light handling. Scattered, shallow scratches justify the grade given, but in no way affect the overall desirability of this artistic masterpiece.
