1697-AA [Metz Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Fine/Very Fine, the obverse weaker than the reverse, struck on a virgin planchet. The legends are full on either side, a few obverse letters weak but visible, the reverse ones strong; the date is weak but all there and the mintmark is sharp. Darker rose and mottled hue, the obverse with traces of the original silvering, the surfaces with the characteristic light roughness found on the flan neuf types, which likely had something to do with the silver wash. Metz struck both virgin planchets and overstruck earlier douzains for this year.
