FRANCE. Louis dOr, 1687-D. Lyon Mint. Louis XIV (1643-1715). NGC MS-63.Fr-426; KM-256.2; Gad-249. The <em>louis dor a la perruque</em> type struck at Lyon from 1683-89. A <strong>VERY RARE</strong> type, as most were restruck into the <em>louis dor a lecu</em> issues in the 1690s. Entirely impressive quality for the issue with bold, near complete designs and fields that are filled with strong satiny luster. Worthy of a strong bid from the French type collector, as examples in this quality are only available once in a blue moon.
