1696-“&” [Aix Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Choice Very Fine, boldly overstruck on an earlier douzain which has a 1592 date prominently visible at the top reverse – double dates, over a century apart! Well struck, the legend of the Sol full and mostly bold, the final digit of the date weak but visible, the mintmark strong and with bold design detail. The host planchet is large enough that roughly 1/3 of its legends are visible on the obverse periphery and closer to half on the reverse, a very eye-catching overstrike. Medium gray, nice hard surfaces, the reverse with some unusual purple stains, likely removable. UNLISTED in Gadoury as coming overstruck on anything, the reported mintage figure for this year is all on virgin planchets.
