1699-E [Tours Mint] Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Very Fine, boldly overstruck on an earlier douzain of Henri II, apparently a Douzain aux Croissants type (Ciani 1309), as much of HENRICVS 2 is visible on the obverse, and this is the only type that used the numeral “2” instead of the ordinals “II” in the legend. The host coin is larger than the Sol dies, which gives substantial amounts of the legend visible around the periphery. The date of the Sol is sharp, the mintmark weaker but visible, important since this is a COMPLETELY UNLISTED date and mintmark in Gadoury, for any of his three planchet types, and exceedingly rare (if not unique). Quite nice with the bold date and significant undertype.
