1721-W [Lille Mint] John Law Silver 1/3 Ecu, Gadoury 306. Very Fine, struck over an early Petite Louis d’Argent, with the trefoil mark under the obverse bust. The overstrike here is particularly strong, with only faint traces of the host coin visible, the easiest places to see it at the left side where some of the host coin can be viewed, including one of the arms of the reverse cross behind the king’s head and the base of the obverse where a few letters of the original coin can still be seen. Light gray, the surfaces hard and with minimal contact marks. Lille struck both recoined and virgin planchet types for this year; Gadoury considers both of equal rarity.
