What French mint is this?

Is it a quiz ? 8) Or is the rest of the coin missing ?

I checked my SCWC, the design matches " Hermine ", name varies depending on year and mint place.

OK, I'm a little confused now.
I saw a post on another site that said that this was a privy mark and that the mint mark was on the other side.


Which would make it this.



But the book you referenced seems to be saying the opposite.

So, is this coin from the Metz mint, with a Hermine privy mark?

Hello,
The mintmark is under the shield : "AA" for Metz, privy mark of J. FR. Leclerc (bomb).
So, the symbol on the other side means nothing?

Hi,

it's the mark of mint master (privy mark), which is not a bomb, but probably a "globus cruciger"!

Hi,
It's look like an orb and cross (Globus cruciger), but it's a lighted grenade / bomb ;)



The bomb is the mint mark of the director and the hermine of the engraver.
