1694-P [Dijon Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 93. Very Fine, well struck over an earlier douzain that has a 1640 countermark, visible here on the reverse. Weakly struck at the left side of the coin, which allows for much of the undertype to be visible there on either side, and the legends of the overstrike non-existent in those areas. The rest of the legend is sharp, as is the date and mintmark, and the design detail is mostly strong. Gunmetal gray, the surfaces rather nice and the planchet oblong in appearance, with three small edge cracks from the overstriking. A charming specimen, this date and mintmark UNLISTED in Gadoury as being overstruck on a douzain with the 1640 countermark, though he does list it as coming overstruck on regular douzains as well as on virgin planchet stock.
