Gold - France Ecu d'or au Dauphine

Here is a new coin I just acquired

France
Ecu d'or au Dauphine
ND (1515-1547)
Francois I - Fr. 354
NGC AU-58

Nice full luster, nice strike on the devices but a little weak in the legends. Planchet is a little short.
Will match well with my Ecu d'or au Porcepic

That is certainly one to envy

You can't beat hammered gold in my opinion.

Very nice, even though I don't collect it I find the early gold pieces quite attractive.

Thanks all .... Hussulo I remember your coin well because after seeing it that's the day I began looking for one of my own

Its nice to think my coin helped entice you but looking through your set you have exemplary taste. I see many coins I would love to own.
