<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 76834, member: 283&quot;]On French coins of the era not only do you have the mint mark (in this case `W&#039; for Lille found on the reverse under the wreath ties, but you also have&nbsp; another two symbols (or `ateliers&#039; - workshop marks). One is found under the bust, the other just before the date.&nbsp; One for the mint master and the other for the designer (or secondary designer dependent upon the period). I&#039;m not sure on these coins which is which. I would think that the one under the bust is the designers workshop mark but I can&#039;t be sure without digging out some references. From memory, I think the mark under the bust is a Heron...perhaps a Pelican (as I think the Heron wasn&#039;t used until after 1763).</p><p><br /></p><p>GD?&nbsp; Got your boooks on hand?</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
