A - Paris Mint - 1760/58/4-A Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 44b. Rarity-6 for the variety, Rarity-8 for the metal as this appears to be struck in copper, with no trace of silvering. Very Good/Poor, the reverse with just a few letters showing. The obverse is strong at the date (showing the overdate in the final digit quite strongly), and the first two words, the rest of the legend gone, but the design sharp. The reverse has almost none of the design visible, and though there are some light digs at the top of this side, the missing detail cannot be attributed to those alone, and it may be well that the reverse was struck from a die that had extensively failed. Somewhat brassy copper alloy, not the expected billon. A curious specimen that will interest the specialist.
