1694-M [Toulouse Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 93. Very Fine, nicely overstruck on an earlier douzain that had the 1640 countermark, here visible on the obverse. The original host coin had a planchet clip which doesn’t touch any of the legend of the overstrike, and the letters are mostly strong, as are the date and mintmark. The undertype is visible at the center of the obverse where one can see the arms of a cross from the reverse of a douzain. Nice lighter pewter color, the surfaces pleasing enough and with just a couple minuscule edge splits, much better than usually seen for a coin that was struck, countermarked and then struck again over the course of a century or so of active circulation!
