1713/2-AA [Metz Mint] Billon 15 Deniers. Vlack 14a, Gadoury 95. Fine, the obverse a bit sharper. A most respectable grade for this extremely rare overdate – unlisted as such in Gadoury and rated a full R-8 by Vlack, his highest rarity rating. The legends are full on either side, a few stray letters weaker on the reverse but mostly strong, the all-important date bold and the prominent overdate easily seen with the naked eye, the original 2 much larger than the 3 that was punched over it. Interestingly this issue is also a transitional one – the different here is a rose, but it has also been punched over the earlier pomegranate that one would expect on a 1712-dated obverse die. Quite rare.
