Frosty light to medium steel gray with lustrous bluish steel overtones in the fields and protected areas. Lightly worn on the devices and the only marks are some faint diagonal planchet adjustment lines inside the shield on the reverse (as struck). The sun face over the head (mark for the Paris Mint master) and the small tower over the crown (mark for the Paris Mint engraver) are both sharp. A nice example of this rare early French colonial piece issued specifically for their colonies in North America. The Martin attribution and provenance are noted on the special PCGS label. Listed on page 49 in the "Redbook."
