PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield. A decently struck Groat with a few very minor points of weakness, problem-free surfaces, and even, dark gray toning throughout. From the Sundial Valley Farms Collection." This was issued during the post Treaty period, when the king had resumed his claim to the French throne.
