- FRANCE. Ecu d'Or, ND. Montpellier Mint. Francois I (1515-47). NGC MS-61. 3.37 gms. Fr-345; Dupl-775; Ciani-1073. Struck during a period when France was nearly surrounded by the Habsburg monarchy. As a result, France under Francois I became aligned with the Ottoman Empire as a strategic counter-balance, something considered quite controversial for a Christian king at the time. Sharply struck on a broad, round flan showing full legends on both sides. Reverse shows evidence of being overstruck on an earlier issue. An outstanding example of this issue with lovely lemon yellow luster. Estimate: $900 - $1,200. NGC MS-61. Click here for certification details from NGC.
