The Écu d'Or of Charles VII, minted between 1422 and 1461, is a gold coin issued during the reign of Charles VII of France, a pivotal figure in the latter half of the Hundred Years’ War. His rule saw the revival of French fortunes, particularly after Joan of Arc’s intervention in lifting the siege of Orléans and securing his coronation at Reims.
The obverse of the coin typically features a crowned shield bearing the royal arms of France, adorned with three fleurs-de-lis, symbolizing divine right and royal authority. The surrounding Latin inscription reinforces Charles VII’s legitimacy as the rightful king. On the reverse, a cross with fleurs-de-lis in the angles represents both faith and monarchy, a common motif in medieval French coinage.
Graded MS64 (Mint State 64), this coin is in exceptional condition for its age, showing sharp details, strong luster, and minimal marks. Medieval gold coins in such high grades are scarce, making this a highly desirable piece among collectors. Its value is influenced by rarity, historical significance, and market demand, often fetching premium prices at auctions.
