I was going to suggest a French Ecu d'or, which is the only gold I've had from that period. They're cool late-medieval gold pieces, and affordable in higher grades.
Neat piece. King Francis I was a patron of the arts and played host to Leonardo da Vinci, I believe. Nostradamus also came from the France of that era.

Steinberg's has a few.
How about also anything from the 16-1700's... talkin DOUBLOONS

Doubloons, as in Spanish or Spanish colonial escudos? They're out there, but you'll pay more for them, due to their popularity.
This is a good site that I've seen several gold coins from that date range. Good Luck
