<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 37275, member: 112&quot;]Since you have the coin in hand you can see it better - but it appears to me that the mint mark is Z ( Grenoble ). When the reverse is held with the date at the top left, 11 o&#039;clock -&nbsp; the mint mark is found at 6 o&#039;clock. Is it a Z ?</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is, and I could be wrong, but I believe you have a counterfeit coin. It is likely it is a contemporary counterfeit due to the wear. But possible it is not if that mint mark is indeed a Z. For if it were genuine, the coin could be considered semi-rare and thus valuable.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the privy mark on the obverse, the design of the bust on the obverse, the date being on the obverse &amp; reverse both - all of these are wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin, of this denomination ( it is supposed to be a 1/12 ecu not 2 sols ) with this date was issued during the 4th reformation. Coins of this period are not even listed in Krause.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
