This specimen was lot 1206 in Stephen Album sale 43 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2022), where it sold for $480. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE: Philippe IV, 1285-1314, AR maille tierce (1/3 tournose), ND (1306), round O, NGC graded MS64. The only mint state example graded at NGC." This type was intended to be one-third of a gros tournois or 4-3/8 deniers tournois. It superseded the maille tierce à l'O long (Dupl-216) struck earlier in the reign. This denomination seems to have been abandoned after this ruler.
