1710-D [Lyon Mint] Billon 30 Deniers. Vlack 2, Gadoury 102. Uncirculated, a rare mint state survivor of this workhorse coinage, quite rare in this condition. Boldly struck, all the legends, date and mintmark full, the design detail sharp on either side. Attractive golden toning atop the original silvering, with no real marks from usage as currency – a coin that was lovingly cared for over the course of three centuries! While not rare as a date, few examples have survived in high grade, though there were likely French collectors who added at least some colonial issues to their cabinets, a fortunate occurrence for collectors today!
