1693-O [Riom Mint] Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Fine/Very Fine, struck on a virgin planchet. Probably of the VF level in terms of wear, somewhat weakly struck at the lower periphery of either side, the date and mintmark both strong. Despite the weakness at least ¾ of the legends are visible on either side, the obverse design is weak but all there, the reverse stronger. Light pewter gray, the obverse surfaces with a light roughness to them, the reverse better. While not a rare mint, Riom struck Sols this year both on virgin planchets and over earlier douzains – the virgin planchets were just a bit over 12% of the entire mintage, and are certainly quite a bit rarer than those overstruck.
