An attractive mid-grade example of this French Colonial coinage, featuring nice coloration with bold details and a firmly impressed counterstamp.

The counterstamp on this example is Vlack M, which was previously unrecorded on the 1-A die variety. Rarely encountered, as here, with a tiny planchet clip to the left. Listed on page 55 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Newman IX, November 2017, lot 15237, realized $156.
