The 1328–1350 France Philippe VI coin, graded MS62, originates from the reign of King Philippe VI of Valois, the first Valois king of France. Philippe VI ascended to the throne in 1328 after the Capetian dynasty ended with the death of Charles IV. His reign was marked by the beginning of the Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453) between France and England, a conflict that shaped medieval European history.
During this period, France’s coinage underwent significant developments, with gold and silver denominations reflecting economic and military challenges. Philippe VI issued various coins, including the gold Écu d’or and silver Gros tournois, both of which featured intricate designs symbolizing royal authority. His coinage often depicted the king in armor, emphasizing his role as a warrior monarch, while inscriptions reinforced the divine legitimacy of his rule.
An MS62 grade indicates that the coin is in mint state with only minor imperfections, making it a well-preserved example from this turbulent historical period. Given its age and historical significance, a coin from Philippe VI’s reign in such high condition is a valuable and rare piece for collectors of medieval French numismatics.
