1695-B [Rouen Mint] Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Very Fine, a really impossible coin to grade as it is somewhat weakly struck on a virgin planchet, but possesses nearly full silvering, the upper half of the obverse lustrous, meaning it is a coin that really didn’t get used and is technically Uncirculated or very close to it. But it’s weaker at the bottom obverse and top reverse, affecting some of the legends there, and showing the lightly rough surfaces of the original planchet in those areas since there wasn’t enough pressure to harden them in the striking process. The date is bold, the mintmark weaker but visible. Gadoury lists this issue as only on virgin planchet stock, while Droulers does not list this date and mint at all.
