1767 FRANCUSKIE KOLONIE MIEDZIANE "SOU" LUB SOL DE 12 DENIERS
W 1767 r. Francja wyemitowała 1,6 miliona miedzianych "sou" (o wartości 9 denierów) do użytku we francuskich koloniach na Karaibach. Zdecydowana większość z nich była stemplowana owalnym stemplem z literami "RF" (République Française). Wiele z tych kontrstempli trafiło do kolonii amerykańskich, gdzie krążyły w obiegu o wartości jednego centa. Ze względu na ich obecność w "amerykańskiej" zmianie, są one uważane za część serii American Colonial, pomimo ich produkcji za granicą. Automatically translated

1767 FRENCH COLONIES COPPER "SOU" OR SOL DE 12 DENIERS
In 1767, France issued 1.6 million copper Sols (valued at 9 Deniers) for use in the French Colonies in the Caribbean. The vast majority of these were counterstamped with an oval punch with the letters "RF" (République Française). Many of the counterstamped piece ended up in the American Colonies, where they circulated at the value of one Cent. Because of their presence in "American" change, they are considered part of the American Colonial series, despite their manufacture overseas.
