@numisrob, that's caused much of the confusion. The only sold or listed examples I seem to find are the 'essai' which is a limited mintage near 'sample' set; yet this coin seems to have some strange premium attached to it. I'm looking for some explanation on why this french colonial is 'unique' in the market/amongst collectors compared to other similar french colonials.
Thanks for your response. I couldn't easily link numista on my phone.
