| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sou Marque was introduced by royal edict in 1738 as part of a broader effort to rationalize France's chaotic small-change coinage, which had accumulated decades of debased, clipped, and counterfeit pieces in daily circulation. Billon — the lowest tier of silver-bearing alloy the mint would officially strike — was chosen precisely because small denominations needed to be cheap to produce while still carrying enough silver content to resist the most casual counterfeiting.
Production ran across multiple mints simultaneously, making mint-mark attribution essential to meaningful attribution of any individual piece. Paris output was heaviest in the early years of the issue.
