PCGS AU58 (56291940).
The cross on the reverse shows through slightly on the obverse. The strike is slightly off-centre on the reverse. Retains its original lustre, with only a slight patina on the fields. Very rare, if not unique: this year is missing from the Rouen website and from the ‘Bible’ of royal coins published in 2023. Superb.
