Previously, emissions had been coins of French types, with some years sent to the New World. This time it was a different guy for circulation in America. In 1721 and 1722, in Rouen and La Rochelle, a second specific broadcast would be made that this time would be coined. The 9 -deniers were sent to Canada, but they had no good acceptance.
