French Colonies
Pair of Louis XV 2 Sols (Sous Marqués),
1) 1750-AA AU55 NGC, Metz mint, KM500.2, Vlack-248, R7. Medium gray-brown. Interesting die flaw joins the L with the fleur-de-lis at the left.
2) 1742-H Unc., Contemporary Counterfeit, Vlack 358. Purported La Rochelle mint. Blue and rose toning. In general an important point of difference between the genuine and counterfeit pieces is the detail of the crowns on the obverse and reverse.
