FRANCE. 1/4 Ecu, 1686-LL. Lille Mint. Louis XIV. NGC VF-20.
KM-260.1, Dr/4 no. 684A, Dr/2 no. 485A, Dupl. 1511; Gad-149. A little weak on the obverse but definitely Very Fine on the reverse. This quart d'écu de Flandre, seen with large and small bust varieties, was struck only at Lille using either an "LL" mintmark or a crowned "L". It is scarce and normally appears in low grade. Even so, it is much more available than the quart d'écu à la cravate or the quart d'écu juvenile. The Lille mintmark later became "W".
Estimate: $100.00- $150.00
