Heritage sale 3064, part of lot 29024
France H3064-29024d.jpg

This coin, called a double sol aux 2 L couronnés, was an attempt by the government to displace all the low grade silver pieces circulating in France since the time of Louis XIII. It was theoretically equal to 24 deniers but was actually worth much less. Most survivors today are in poor condition. The type was struck 1738-69 and is recorded for the Nantes mint ("T") for 1738-41 and 1743. This specimen was part of lot 29024 in Heritage sale 3064 (Chicago, April 2018), which sold for $240. The catalog description[2] noted, "Trio of Louis XV 2 Sols (Sous Marqués), ...2) 1740-T XF, Nantes mint. Medium gray with some porosity. Ex. Robert Vlack collection (Stack's Vlack, Jan. 2008, lot 5178). ...From the Doug Robins Collection of Canadian Tokens."

Recorded mintage: 300,484 (priced[1] as a better date).

Specification: 2.18 g, 0.250 fine silver, 21-22 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by J.-C. Röettiers.

Catalog reference: KM 500.2, Vlack-187, Gad-281, Dupl-1690; Dr/2 № 595, Dr/4 № 859.
