Help with 17th centry French(?) Moneta Nova.

I think that this could be a contemporary counterfeit. It looks almost like the KM# 263(pg 219 in the 17th century,3rd edition of Krause)
30 Sols obverse. I can not find the reverse anywhere of this coin anywhere. Is there a catalog specifically for these type of coins? I searched old auctions and found nada.

Here are the specs: 15.4g. 37 mm. , no edge lettering.

It does appear that it was stamped over the 30 Sols. If you notice in the fleur-de-lis on my coin you can make out the S O from the reverse of the 30 Sols in the catalog. On the other side of the coin you can make out the old fleur-de-lis which has been overstamped by this different reverse. I probably confused you guys. Sorry if I did.

No pics, but do you think that it possibly may bea 1/2 ecu, KM#308 (pg 233 Krause 3rd, 17th century) ?

Interesting! I'd like to know myself!

You're looking in the wrong century, it's a Louis XIV 1/4 ecu aux palmes de Strasbourg. A 1 year type and a rather expensive coin. You need to have that one authenticated, but it looks like the real deal to me.
