sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 5:45 pm France: Louis X111 (1610-43), AE double tournois. Date (11: o'clock position, rev.), probably 1635, bit difficult to read. Edited by sel_69l 10/07/2015 5:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 5:58 pm Hi, The coin should be copper and weigh around 2.8 grams. It is from France, Louis XIII Double Tournois 1630 or 1640 Mint Mark D (Lyon). The 0 to the left of the cross on the side with the 3 Fleur-de-lis is the last date number. It had a date run between 1628 and 1640. I am not positive, but the number to the left of the 0 looks more like a 3 than a 4. The mint mark is under the bust and appears to be a D. Can you confirm by looking more closely than the picture allows? Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 6:23 pm I think the last date digit is a 5. If you look, the rounded portion appears large, but the other two strokes are visible at the top. I agree that the third digit looks like a 3, though. Report this Post to the Staff
jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 9:11 pm The catalog shows no coins minted in 1635. Since the beading above the digit I am guessing is a zero starts drifting in from the edge there, I think that is what may be making it look like a different digit. Report this Post to the Staff
