France H3064-29007b.jpg

This specimen was part of lot 29007 in Heritage sale 3064 (Chicago, April 2018), which sold for $210. The catalog description[2] noted, "Pair of Louis XIV 30 Deniers ("Mousquetaires"), 1) 1710-AA XF, Metz mint, R8. Large stop in place of pomegranate différent. Medium gray with a couple of small verdigris spots. Far above the average condition for the type; ...From the Doug Robins Collection of Canadian Tokens." This type, nicknamed a mousquetaire, was minted at Lyon and Metz 1709-13. Altho sometimes sold as a Canadian token, and it's possible some circulated there, the vast majority remained in France. This specimen is from Lyon, not Metz as described above.
