1697-N [Montpellier Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Fine, overstruck on an earlier douzain, without the 1640 countermark. Fine or so, most of the legends are visible on either side though letters are occasionally a bit weak; the date and mintmark are both weaker but all there and the design detail is as expected for the grade. Light gray, the surfaces with a light but even roughness, the planchet nicely misshapen from the overstrike and with a few light edge splits as a result. Montpellier struck this year on both virgin planchets and over earlier douzains – after a half decade of most mints overstriking these earlier issues it is amazing that there were still examples left to be recoined, but that continued to 1700 for a couple mints at least! This example is from the Robert Vlack collection, and comes with his distinct typewritten envelope.
