1694-“&” [Aix Mint] Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Technically Uncirculated, somewhat indifferently struck on a virgin planchet. The legends are mostly sharp, the final digit of the date weaker than the rest but visible under a glass, the design detail sharp on either side. The surfaces are a lighter gray but with a very fine roughness to them, suggesting the piece may have been lost shortly after mintage and spent some time underground, but if so it didn’t change the color much and the coin is nicely free of any sort of deep roughness. Also free of any marks from circulation, supporting the technical grade of the coin. While Gadoury lists this date and mint he does not have a mintage, and doesn’t say whether they are on virgin planchets or overstruck, suggesting the date and mint was rare enough that he never saw one; this piece at least answers that question.
