Milled coinage was experimental in the sixteenth century and would not be generally adopted in France until the reform of 1640-42. This type had a face value of twelve deniers tournois, a denomination later occupied by the copper sou. Duplessy lists this type for the Grenoble mint 1593-97 while Sombart notes 1593-95.
Recorded mintage: est. 387,804.
Specification: 2.39 g, .240 fine silver.
Catalog reference: Dupl-1257; Ci., 1565; Laf., 1096, Sb 4442.
