1699-D [Lyon Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Very Fine, boldly overstruck on a 1594-dated douzain of Henri IIII – the King’s name prominent at the upper left obverse and the date at the upper right reverse, a rare occurrence where both things are present on an overstrike! This is due to the Sol being struck about 25% off-center on the host douzain, with a result that all the legend at the right obverse and left reverse are completely off the planchet, certainly an eye-catching error. Medium gray, with a few minor edge cracks from the overstriking.
