1699-O [Riom Mint] Recoined Sol de 15 Deniers, Gadoury 91. Nearly Very Fine, overstruck on an earlier douzain that was larger than the Sol dies, with significant amount of the host coin’s legend visible around the peripheries; the legends of the Sol and undertype intermingle at the right obverse, the rest mostly clear, as are the date and mintmark. This is a COMPLETELY UNLISTED date and mintmark combination in Gadoury, for any of his three planchet types. Quite rare, and the only example we have seen. Riom is known to have struck the denomination in 1693 (as overstrikes), 1695 & 1696 (on virgin planchets) and again in 1697, this latter year coming on both planchet types.
