| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the denomination and destination in four bold lines across the central field: XII in Roman numerals at the top, followed by DENIERS, then COLONIES, and the date 1717, with the Perpignan mint mark Q centered below, all separated by a small pellet. The design is stark and typographic, with no additional decorative elements, and the entire composition is enclosed within the toothed border that continues from the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 12 Deniers of 1717 was struck in France for circulation in the colonies — Canada, Louisiana, and the French Caribbean — as part of a broader monetary ordinance issued by the Conseil de Marine following the death of Louis XIV and the reorganization of colonial administration under the Regency. Chronic coin shortages in New France had long forced colonists to rely on card money, a makeshift currency literally cut from playing cards and signed by colonial officials. This bronze issue was meant to displace that system.
It largely failed. Colonists distrusted low-denomination bronze, and card money persisted for decades.
