 1693-M billon douzain. Toulouse Mint. Br.276. Very Fine. 26.1 gns. Attractive, rich gray on the obverse, rosy gray on the reverse. Fleur counterstamp entered on the right corner of the obverse shield. Struck over an older douzain that had been counterstamped with the fleur-de-lys following the 1640 edict. Thus, this is a double issue on one coin. Vlack mentions the existence of these as being quite rare.
