Struck during the reign of Charles VI of France, this 1380–1422 Gold Écu d’Or, graded NGC AU58, is a captivating medieval issue from a monarch whose reign was defined by political turmoil and the early stages of the Hundred Years' War. These coins were key instruments of statecraft and finance in a fractured kingdom.
Obverse: Displays a crowned coat of arms featuring three fleurs-de-lis, symbolizing the French royal house. The finely beaded border and bold Gothic legend emphasize regal authority, and the sharp details of the crown confirm careful die work at the mint.
Reverse: Features a floral cross of fleurs-de-lis within a quadrilobe, a hallmark of French medieval numismatics. This elegant design serves both decorative and symbolic functions, invoking the divine sanction of royal rule.
This AU58 example retains much of its original mint luster and shows only the slightest touch of wear on the highest reliefs. With an attractive strike, glowing surfaces, and minimal handling marks, it represents a nearly uncirculated survivor of a turbulent yet artistically rich era in French numismatics
