Corresponds to the second issue of the second-type Parisis denarius, which, for the first time, features legends beginning at the top with a small cross, and ‘FRA NCO’ with upright letters. The 16.5 mm diameter may also suggest a piéfort (octuple) of the obol of the same type, known from the Marchéville 667 specimen. Extremely rare, if not unique. TTB.
