1693-N [Montpellier Mint] Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. About Uncirculated, a coin that likely saw much active use as currency but which is somewhat weakly struck at the centers accounting for the grade here. The legends, however, are full and strong, as is the date and mintmark. Lovely light silver with a few specks of darker color on either side, the surfaces clean and natural. Gadoury lists this date and mint both recoined and on virgin planchet stock, with about 1/3 less struck on the virgin planchets. This is an UNLISTED legend error, the reverse legend ETNR here mistakenly spelled out as ET * N * R with two large stops breaking up the word unlike anything else in the series. Presumably quite rare, a search through available photos showed no duplicate with this legend error, and it was likely noticed early on, with the offending die either corrected or taken out of service.
