- FRANCE. Ecu (6 Livres), 1793-MA. Marseille Mint. Louis XVI (1774-1793). NGC MS-62. Dav-1335; Gad-55; KM-624.7. Struck at the height of the French Revolution, with royalist counter revolutionaries in Marseille where this coin was struck helping to provoke the Reign of Terror that resulted in mass executions all across France. As for Louis XVI himself, he was executed on Monday, January 21, 1793 by guillotine. Weakly struck especially on the reverse, and with uneven coloration; the coin remains fully UNCIRCULATEDand highly desirable as such. An interesting and compelling coin with a boatload of history behind it. Estimate: $900 - $1,200. NGC MS-62. Click here for certification details from NGC.
