BB – Strasbourg Mint - 1741-BB Billon Sous Marques. Vlack 252. Rarity-7. Extremely Fine, well struck, the legends full on either side, the individual letters and numerals mostly strong, and with sharp design detail. Light gray, the obverse with nearly full silvering, the reverse with a little less so in the fields and just light rub on the high points of either side. No real marks or damage of note, and a perfect example for the grade, and for this rare variety. The Strasbourg mint struck the Sous Marques longer than any mint other than Paris, and its coinage is replete with legend variations, overdates, letters punched over numbers and a fair number of contemporary counterfeits as well, all of which are detailed in the Vlack book.
