France 1707AA 10 sols rev DSLR.jpg

Shown is a 10 sols aux quatre couronnes (ten sous with four crowns) struck at the Metz mint in the last years of Louis XIV's reign. The type was struck 1702-07 for France in substantial numbers but solely from the Metz ("AA") and Strasbourg ("BB") mints. This date is common. The SCWC lists this as a 1/8 écu but Droulers notes this coin is closer to a 1/7 écu.

Recorded mintage: 25,606,080.

Specification: 3.10 g, .798 fine silver, plain edge, designed by Norbert Roëttiers.

Catalog reference: Dr/4 № 710, Dr/2 № 513, KM 348.1; Gad-132a.
