phoenetics New Member 15 Posts	Posted 08/06/2014 7:52 pm Hi There, I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on this coin for me. I haven't been able to find it anywhere! I'm not sure what side the obverse and reverse are because there is no portrait. I have searched similar coins with the same date and all have a portrait and the side pictured on the left. Ruler: Louis XIV (It says XIIII on it) Date: 1683 The side pictured on the right shows an "L" in the centre (I'm assuming is a Mint Mark) Any information on the coin and idea of value would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, phoenetics Report this Post to the Staff

phoenetics New Member 15 Posts	Posted 08/07/2014 12:01 am Thank you so much for the link! I think you're right, and I believe that it's very likely it reads 1693 and not 83. The numbers are worn and what left of the "8/9" looks like the bulkiness of an eight. There is a listed 1693L. I also couldn't find any 15 Deniers for 1683L However, I am still on the hunt, because I'm not fully convinced about the date being 93. I think it's 83. If anyone else has some more information on this coin, let me know please! Report this Post to the Staff
