France (Montpelier mint), ecu, Louis XVI, 1792-N, encapsulated NGC MS 62, finest and only specimen in NGC census. Ciani-2238; Dav-1335; Duplessy-1718; Gad-55; KM-615.11. An attractive and historical example of a "constitutional ecu" named for the allegorical figure Genius writing the constitution on the reverse and struck in 1792 and 1793. This 1792 example is the scarcer date for Montpelier and was struck just months before Louis XVI was guillotined. Appealing for the grade with bright white luster, some adjustment marks and lamination flaws (typical for the date). NGC certification number 4348118003.
