1696-I [Limoges Mint] Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Nearly Very Fine, struck on a virgin planchet. Somewhat weakly struck at two points in the peripheral legend, losing some of the letters in those areas, but about three-quarters of the legends are visible on either side. The date is weaker but visible, the mintmark bold, and with mostly strong design detail. Much of the original silvering adheres to the surfaces, the weaker areas toned just a shade or two darker. A VERY RARE mint, with only 40,591 examples struck in this year, all on virgin planchet stock – the lowest mintage of any mint for the year, and it is unlikely that many survived. Unpriced in the new edition of Gadoury in any grade.
