1698-X [Amiens Mint] Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Fine to Very Fine, somewhat weakly struck on a virgin planchet. The coppery planchet at first glance appears to mark the coin as a contemporary counterfeit, but the weight and die work appear correct. The final digit of the date is somewhat weak in the photograph but is easily seen in person, and the mintmark is sharp, this important because this is a COMPLETELY UNLISTED date and mintmark combination in Gadoury, for any of his three planchet types; indeed, Gadoury lists 1695 as the final year that Amiens struck this series, that date now pushed back by three years. Another extremely rare piece for the specialist, and the only example we have traced.
