<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1965184, member: 112"]That's not the same coin at all, but one of a later design. Look at the differences in the hair and face. The KM# for your coin is 236.1, Krause has no picture of your coin. But other specialized books I own do. The keys to identifying your coin are the bust design - the youthful face, the hair, and the mustache (on your coin it is faint but it is there) - the A mint mark, and the privy mark above the hair - this is found on no other coins of the period. The description I gave is accurate, as is the approximate value.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is another coin known as the <i>Louis d'or juvenile a la tete nue</i> design that is similar to that of your coin and sometimes confused with it, even by catalogers who supposedly know these coins.
