1692-Y [Bourges Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Nearly Very Fine, struck over an earlier douzain without the 1640 countermark. The host coin was clipped and thus smaller than the dies for the Sol, resulting in the legends at the right being off the planchet, while those to the left are sharp, this fortunately including the date. The mintmark is sharp. Medium gray, lightly rough surfaces, no real marks, and a nearly square-shaped planchet. UNLISTED as an overstrike in Gadoury, though this date and mint is listed as found on a virgin planchet – with the lowest reported mintage of any mints for the year. It is also one of just two issues for the date that are completely unpriced. An exceedingly rare item, we do not recall seeing another example at auction.
