I have a beaten up piece of silver, probably 12 sols though it's .5 gr underweight.

Beneath the truncation on obverse is a lion passant. Any idea on whose privy mark?

On reverse there should be a mint mark between the words Domini Benedictum, instead of which there is what looks like an ampersand (&).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bob

Mintmark "&" is for the city of Aix en Provence.
