1696-M [Toulouse Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 93. Very Fine or nearly there, struck over an earlier douzain with the 1640 countermark, here visible on the reverse. Struck on an odd diamond-shaped planchet which is larger enough to accommodate the Sol dies (though a few letters on each side are weak, as struck), and show some of the host coin’s legend as well. Medium gray, the surfaces with a light roughness but not that bad. UNLISTED in Gadory as coming over an earlier douzain with the 1640 countermark – and unlisted as overstruck on anything at all, the recorded mintage being on virgin planchet stock.
