CC – Besancon Mint - 1738-CC Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 277. Rarity-8. Fine, the peripheries sharper than the centers, with the legends full on either side, the date a bit weak, the mintmark bold (the mintmark is known as addorsed C’s, the left one backwards, the right one facing normally, both interlocked; they have been traditionally written out as either “CC” which we prefer, or “)(“). The central designs are fully outlined, but not bold. Medium gold atop much of the original silvering, the surfaces lightly but evenly granular, a longish striation from the last letter of the obverse legend, but nicely free of major marks from circulation. Quite rare, Ford did not have an example of this date, while the Vlack coin was sharper but excessively rough and had been cleaned.
