VF. Very rare -- only 5 specimens listed in Prieur." This coin shares with mine the + under the bust.  Most listings for the coin give the reference as Prieur 1578 but no one seems to bother mentioning the + or a couple other symbols (dots, crescents) seen here and there.  This reminds me of my standing admonition that it is foolish to quote catalog numbers for coins unless you both own and understand the reference involved.  Prieur is only $99.  How many coins should one own before buying the book?  Who owns this one and would like to write a shot review?<a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=177631" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=177631" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=177631</a>[/QUOTE]
