1721-L [Bayonne Mint] John Law Silver 1/3 Ecu, Gadoury 306. Very Fine, struck on a new planchet, without the trefoil mark under the obverse bust. Well struck, with the legends, date and mintmark all sharp, the design detail with clean, even wear as expected. The reverse shows adjustment marks at the lower center – these were there before the coin was struck. Otherwise clean for a coin that saw a fair amount of use, and with pleasing light gunmetal gray toning. The Bayonne mint is consistently one of the rarer ones in most of the series related to North America, and though there are no mintage figures available for it Gadoury does price it higher than all but a few other 1/3 Ecus of the date (he also lists it as only on virgin planchet stock).
