Comments
Dies with the year 1695 and different punctuation in the legend exist at the Numismatic Cabinet of the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Neuchâtel. The dies show traces of gold on their surface, evidence that gold coins have been minted with these dies, hower none were known as of 2019. (source: Froidevaux# V255, page 567)
