CGB Winter Live Auction, discover the Feudal and french Royal coins

543 lots will be up for sale during CGB Numismatique Paris Live Auction on December 13, 2016, from Ancient coinage to Royal and Modern French coins as well as World coins.

The portion dedicated to french royal coins has a particularly rich selection of rare coins. This means you’ll find both a gold Ecu with salamanders from the reign of French King Francis I minted in Toulouse (Lot 413306) and one minted in La Rochelle (Lot 413308), from the L.G. collection which was amassed between 1925 and 1955. Take a look at the extremely rare Louis XI gold Half-Ecu (Lot 409595), also from the L.G. collection, a Louis XII Teston from Paris (Lot 413310) or a magnificent gold Ecu with a porcupine from Bretagne (Lot 413311).

There is a coin-collecting benchmark among the feudal coins, the Verdun four franc coin of Charles de Lorraine-Chaligny (Lot 397744) which was already officially listed during the nineteenth century, and first became part of the Wormser collection before being sold at the Monte Carlo Vinchon auction in November 1982. The Lorraine region of France will be well represented with several extremely rare coins. Another noteworthy coin among the feudal coins is a Gros from Bergerac in the name of Henry of Lancaster (Lot 411677), a Denier attributed to Andorra (Lot 408768) or the Gaston d'Orléans Ecu minted in 1652 in Trévoux (Lot 413313).
