1695-Y [Bourges Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Fine/Very Fine, the obverse weaker than the reverse, but the weakness as struck and there are ample parts of the host coins legend peeking through in those weaker areas on either side. The date and mintmark are both sharp. Medium gray, the surfaces lightly but evenly rough, but with no real damage from circulation. Unlisted in earlier editions of Gadoury as an overstrike, while the new edition lists it only coming over earlier douzains. Either way, an extremely rare date and mint with just 30,000 minted – the lowest mintage of the year from any of the mints. A piece for the specialist!
