1698-P [Dijon Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 93. Very Fine or nearly there, struck over an earlier douzain which bears the 1640 countermark, here visible on the reverse. Weak at the lower right obverse periphery and corresponding portion of the reverse, with a few letters lost, but the date and mintmark both strong. UNLISTED in Gadoury as coming on a host coin with the 1640 countermark (indeed, he lists just a pair of mints each for 1696 and 1697 found overstruck on an earlier coin with the fleur-de-lys countermark). An extremely rare date and mintmark combination, and a find for the collector.
