1722/1-H Sou, or 9 Deniers. La Rochelle Mint. Martin 2.13-C.3, W-11835. Rarity-3. VF-30 (PCGS).Really a lovely example of the type, both sides exhibit warm, even medium brown patina to smooth, hard surfaces. The strike is off center to the lower right obverse, upper right reverse, the peripheral lettering partially off the flan in those areas. The lower right obverse border is also softly struck, but otherwise we note bold to sharp detail that is not all that far from Extremely Fine quality. A premium 9 deniers for the assigned grade, the underdigit readily evident when observed with the aid of a loupe.
