FRANCE. 1713-AA 15 Deniers, or Half Mousquetaire. Metz Mint. Gadoury-95, Vlack-14b. Rarity-2. Rose Différent. AU-58 (PCGS). A very appealing near-Mint survivor with light silver-rose tinting to satiny surfaces. Well struck for the type, and devoid of troublesome blemishes. Authorized by the edict of May 5, 1711, and struck only at the Metz Mint, the 15 Deniers was intended primarily for use in paying French troops in Europe and was not specifically authorized for circulation in the French territories in the New World. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier from our Baltimore Auction of March 2011, lot 165, as PCGS/CAC AU-58; Heritage's FUN Signature Auction of January 2012, lot 9010, as PCGS/CAC AU-58. The primary plate coin for the 15 deniers type in the 2004 Vlack reference on the French billon coinage in the Americas, p. 23. PCGS# 148728. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
