1692-S [Reims Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Very Fine, overstruck on an earlier douzain of Henri IV without the 1640 countermark. Well struck, with some light mingling of the legends, the ordinals IIII of the original strike visible at the top reverse as that coin was slightly larger than the dies for the Recoined Sol. The date and mintmark are both strong, as are the design details of the Sol. Nice light silver color. Another UNLISTED date and mintmark combination in Gadoury for this variety, though he does list it under his 93, on an example with a 1640 countermark. We note that this date and mint was completely unlisted for any of Gadoury’s three types in all earlier editions of his work, and must be considered quite rare (the S mintmark used here was for Reims, and should not be confused with the Crowned S that was briefly used by the Troyes mint, which is offered in the following lot).
