Comments

The Krause catalog erroneously calls this coin as a (1) souverain.
For 1749, this type is differentiated by the smaller diameter (see link for type with larger planchet).

Mints, mint marks and catalog refernces:
Antwerp (mint mark = hand) Delmonte G 211, Friedberg 132, Witte 1114, Herinek 358
Bruges (mint mark = lion) Delmonte G 570 , Friedberg 236, Herinek 375
