Crowned shield of France under a sun. Rv. + CRISTVS. REGNAT. VINGIT: ET. IMPERA. Cross fleurdelisé with (workshop) within a heart-shaped lozenge incurved. Dy.1057 - G.442 (R5) - Fr.378 ; Gold - 3,06 g - 24,5 mm - 1 h There are only 2 known examples of Gadoury 2022: the Gariel collection and the 1975 Vinchon sale. Our example is probably the 3rd known. We note a G in GAROLVS and VINGIT (Vinchon is of the same coinage) and the absence of differences. This copy has circulated little, with slight traces of brushing. A superb copy.
