1693-E [Tours Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 93. Extremely Fine or nearly there, boldly overstruck on a large, earlier douzain that has the 1640 countermark, visible here on the obverse. The Recoined Sol portion is mostly bold, with a strong date and mintmark; the peripheral legends are sharp on the obverse, just a bit weaker on the reverse. Even with a few planchet cracks and a ragged clip at the base of the obverse, the host coin is large enough than the coin struck over it has a large, mostly blank periphery around it, that area with a few letters from the host coin, some of which are visible, though not enough to identify it to ruler. Quite a dramatic appearance, with light grey color and nice eye appeal.
