What is diameter and weight  of 500 F piedfort?  Value shown is less than standard coin.

The diameter would be the same and the thickness and weight double.
The piedfort variant should also have it's own page because of the extreme weight difference.

Couldn't find the piedfort in the Krause catalog but there is a reference to it in this old book:




The piedfort should have 78 g, 5 mm thickness and a mintage of 1500.
