French Colonies
Louis XIV 5 Sols (1/12 Ecu) 1670-A VF30 NGC, Paris mint, KM199.1 (under France), Br-502 (R4), LeRoux-251 (R7), Zay, Histoire monétaire des colonies françaises, pg. 41, 2, Breen-256, Hodder, "An American Collector's Guide to the Coins of Nouvelle France," 3, VG-2, Maz-2, Gad-2, Lec-186, Robins-29001. An ever-collectible issue most likely intended for use in the French West Indies despite their traditional attribution to New France, Acadia, and the French settlements in Newfoundland, the type always comes highly sought-after wherever it becomes available by both US and Canadian collectors. A pleasing mid-grade specimen capped by a uniform dispersal of handling, leaving each detail still fully discernible and appreciable.
