1695-P [Dijon Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 93. Very Fine/Extremely Fine, boldly overstruck on an earlier douzain with the 1640 countermark, here seen on the obverse. The overstrike is weak at the upper left obverse and lower left reverse, as struck, everything else rather bold. The date is in the weak area, but the final digit can be made out, the mintmark is bold. Struck from a very late state of the obverse die, with large die breaks visible, one of the more dramatically broken dies we have seen in this series. Lovely light gunmetal gray color, the surfaces mostly hard, and the planchet with a few edge splits from the countermarking and overstriking, but with a very cool charm. UNLISTED in Gadoury over a host coin with the 1640 countermark, but known overstruck on issues without that mark.
