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. The first specimen was part of lot 29026 in Heritage sale 3064 (Chicago, April 2018), which sold for $240. The catalog description[2] noted, ""Quartet of Louis XV 2 Sols (Sous Marqués), 1) 1739-W VF, Lille mint, R7. Even gray toning with a couple of small verdigris spots on the reverse. Ex. John Ford collection (Stack's Ford XII, Jan. 2006, lot 85). ...From the Doug Robins Collection of Canadian Tokens." The second specimen was part of lot 29026 in Heritage sale 3064 (Chicago, April 2018), which sold for $240. The catalog description[2] noted, "Quartet of Louis XV 2 Sols (Sous Marqués), ...2) 1739-W Fine Plus, Lille mint, R8. Variety with a bar through the W mint mark. Gray obverse and gray and silver reverse. ...From the Doug Robins Collection of Canadian Tokens."
Recorded mintage: 6,475,088[1], a common date.
Specification: 2.18 g, 0.250 fine silver, 21-22 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by J.-C. Röettiers.
