Context
Dominique PASCAL practiced from 1715 to 1747 on rue de 4 Chapeaux in Lyon, becoming a master in 1722. Examples also exist for demi-Louis and double-Louis d'or aux lunettes (with oval shields). The D surmounted by a fleur-de-lys with the letter C underneath is said to be a verifier's mark for the dénéral (monetary weight) attributed to Nicolas Raybay or Pierre Dassin (Source) , probably before Dominique Pascal became master in his turn. Note that 6 deniers and 9.5 grains give a theoretical weight of 8.1535 grams. This is an automatic translation. The original text is: Dominique PASCAL a exercé de 1715 à 1747 rue de 4 Chapeaux à Lyon, il est passé maitre en 1722. Des exemplaires existent aussi pour demi-Louis et le double-Louis d'or aux lunettes (aux écus ovales). Le D surmonté d'une fleur de lys avec dessous le haut de la lettre C serait un poinçon de vérificateur du dénéral (poids monétaire) attribué à Nicolas Raybay ou Pierre Dassin ( Source ) vraisemblablement avant que Dominique Pascal devienne maitre à son tour. A noter que 6 deniers et 9.5 grains donnent un poids théorique de 8.1535 grammes.
