1693-D [Lyon Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 93. Very Fine, struck over an earlier douzain with the 1640 countermark, here visible at the center of the obverse. Struck on a very large host coin of Henri IIII, with much of the original coin’s legends visible at the periphery, since the dies for the Sol were smaller in size; the King’s name is mostly visible at the right reverse, and about half of the original coin’s legend is also visible on the obverse. Most of the legends from the recoined sol are also visible, with the date and mintmark both strong. A very visually stunning coin, clearly showing two coins for the price of one!
