Lot Description

1720-A French Colonies 20 Sols, or 1/6 Ecu. Paris Mint. AU-58 (NGC). CAC. A highly lustrous and thoroughly attractive example of this popular John Law issue from the era when Monsieur Law owned the rights to all the coinage at France's mints. Bright silver surfaces enjoy much mint frost and richly active pale champagne-gold highlights. Sharply struck and only minimally marked, with any surface disturbances visible only under low magnification. Choice for the grade both physically and aesthetically. PCGS# 167113.
