Prieur 1740B (obverse and reverse die match)
Prieur lists this coin under "Atypical Coins" and lists several possible mints and rulers based on the various styles of the obverse and reverse. The reverse legend on my coin is complete (Prieur's isn't). Prieur states it is obviously not an official issue.
