Comments

Wariant bicia nakazanego edyktem ze stycznia 1763 roku (N# 296562 ), rozmiar litery "C" jest znacznie mniejszy. Prawdopodobnie została wyprodukowana w La Rochelle w latach 1763-1774 lub przynajmniej w mennicy innej niż paryska.

Chociaż nazywane "Sol tampé" lub "Sou marqué" (Sou jest zwyczajem we francuskich koloniach ancien régime'u), ceny tych gatunków różniły się w zależności od kolonii, w których krążyły.

Należy zauważyć, że ta odmiana jest znacznie rzadsza niż oryginalne monety, a ostatnio nie odnotowano żadnej sprzedaży.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

A variant of the refrappe ordered by the edict of January 1763 (N# 296562 ), the size of the "C" is much smaller. It was probably made in La Rochelle between 1763 and 1774, or at least in a mint other than Paris.

Although nicknamed "Sol tampé" or "Sou marqué" (the Sou being customary in the French colonies of the ancien régime), the prices of these species varied according to the colonies in which they circulated.

Note that this variety is much rarer than the original coinage, with no recent sales observed.
