Watch List notes:

FRENCH COLONIES: Louis XIV, 1643-1715, BI 30 deniers, Lyon mint, 1713-D, KM-378.2, Gad-102, VF. In 1710-1713 the Lyon mint struck a billon 30 denier coin specifically for colonial export. These coins, called the 30 deniers aux deux livres Couronnés or less formally as the double sols, display the crowned double L obverse while the reverse displays a cross. The coins were sometimes called Mousquetaires as the cross on the reverse resembled the cross worn by the king's bodyguards, known as the musketeers. The dies for these coins were cut by Norbert Roettiers.
