In hand this tiny coin is looking great.
On the scan the incrustation seems very strong.
I was quite surprised to see all those details on such a copper coin. In general they have so much wear you can hardly read the complete legend.
Would appreciate any opinion about the grade.

Wow, that is a very strong, even, and well centered strike.

If I knew any better I would say its too good to be true. But I have no experience with French forgeries so Ill assume its real.

I would say an easy VF to XF, not counting the corrosion.

Very nice coin!

Great looking coin! The coppers of Louis XIII are tough to find nice.
TTB or about XF-40.

I was very lucky to get this coin on a public auction as mail bidder.
It was part of a lot.
It looks much nicer than this one http://www.numishop.com/fiche-bry_2..._1_1611.html which is graded as VF.
Full detail of the hair and of the coat.
I am very happy with this one.
