Description

1722/1-H French Colonies Sou, or 9 Deniers. La Rochelle Mint. Martin 2.13-C.3, W-11835. Rarity-3. VF-25 (PCGS).

77.2 grains. A strong example with smooth, attractive surfaces. The sharpness and overall quality could easily have earned this coin a higher grade. Predominantly chocolate-brown with some brick-red patina at the addorsed Ls and darker brown on the left side of the reverse. The tops of SIT NOMEN are off the planchet, otherwise the detail is full and bold most everywhere. Noticeably free from contact marks or other distractions. Clear overdate.

PCGS# 905877.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex John Kraljevich, January 2012. Plated in the Martin reference "French Coinage Specifically for Colonial America," pp. 206, 356.
