CARo _ LVS (inscribed in two lines).

SC MARIA REMR (circular legend around a cross, at least two globules diagonally around the cross, a small cross separating the legend between REM and SC).

One coin sold by Chaponnière & Firmenich SA, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4232956. Same reverse die as the copy preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.

 

Reverse legend difficult to read: SC MARIA REMR is offered by the Berlin museum, Chaponnière & Firmenich SA offers PCΓD at the end of the legend instead of REMR. I think the end of the legend is degenerate. I noted a small cross separating the legend, it seems mixed with the second letter R of REMR. She looks like an O with a cedilla. Uncertainty on the number of globules on the reverse.
