French Colonies - 5 Sols 1670-A PCGS AU50 Noted : Lec-186 and Pedigreed
Original attractive steel grey toning over lovely, glossy surfaces. Whether the slight softness on the high points is truly coin wear or die wear is difficult to determine. In any case, this is a truly beautiful example of this scarce and popular coin. This coin is considerably better struck up, and generally more appealing than the piece graded NGC AU50, from the Doug Robbins collection, and sold for USD 7,500 by Heritage on April 20, 2018. In fact, is more attractive than most that have been assigned higher technical grades. Struck according to an edict of King Louis XIV for uus in New France, Acadie, the french colonies in what is now Newfoundland, and the French West Indies, these coins were considered overvalued, and were poorly accepted by the colonists. Effectively a failed experiment, few entered circulation, and most of those struck were subsequently remelted.

Colonies françaises - 5 sols 1670-A PCGS AU50 Noté: Lec-186 et provenance analysée
Décoloration originale gris acier attrayante sur de belles surfaces brillantes. Il est difficile de déterminer si la légère usure sur les points plus surélevés est dû à une usure de la pièce ou du moule. Dans tous les cas, il s'agit d'un superbe exemple d'une pièce rare et populaire. Cette pièce est considérablement mieux frappée, et généralement plus attrayante que la pièce de calibre NGC AU50 de la collection Doug Robbins et vendue pour 7500$ USD le 20 avril 2018. En fait, elle est plus attrayante que la plupart ayant reçu un calibre technique plus élevé. Frappée d'après un édit du roi Louis XIV pour utilisation en Nouvelle-France, Acadie, et les colonies françaises qui sont maintenant Terre-Neuve et les Indes Occidentales Françaises, ces pièces étaient considérées comme surévaluées et peu acceptées par les colons. Une expérimentation ratée, peu sont entrées en circulation et la plupart des pièces frappées ont été refondues par la suite.
