(S.-; N.-; cf. Schneider 199), about very fine and probably unique and unrecorded, a very important coin An extremely rare variety with many similarities to Schneider 199, believed by Peter Woodhead to be unique. This type with four fleur de lis in the shield on the obverse is characteristic of an early issue die and this coin appears to be the second known example with no crescent over the shield, but from totally different dies to the Schneider specimen.

Estimate: £2000-3000
