1670-A French Colonies Five Sols, MS62
Toned and Satiny, Martin 9-I
1670-A 5 Sol French Colonies 5 Sols MS62 PCGS. M. 9-I, W-11605,
Breen-256. Ex: Troy Wiseman Collection. Breen (1988) classified
this issue under "coinages intended for French America." Louis XIV
authorized the production of these pieces on February 19, 1670.
According to Bowers (Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia), 200,000
examples of the silver 5 sols denomination were struck, although
most were later melted. Surviving examples are scarce overall, and
all of the individual 21 known varieties are decidedly rare. This
Mint State coin is well struck in the centers, unlike many other
pieces seen. A satiny dove-gray example that offers glimpses of
russet and cobalt-gray peripheral toning. Listed on page 47 of the
2022 Guide Book.Ex: The Troy Wiseman Collection, Part Two / FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 71.
