The weight of the later coins will vary from 0.68 to 1.14 grams, and the size will vary 17.0 to 19.0 millimeters. Variants: - Coins made from 1588 to 1591 have the two last digits of the date separated by the fluer-de-lys. - Coins made in 1587 and coins made from 1592 to 1620 have the digits of the date grouped together at the end of the reverse legend. - Coins made from 1609 to 1621 have a fox replacing the fluer-de-lys. - Some coins from 1609 and 1620, as well as ones from 1621 and 1622, have the digits of the date separated by the monogram on the obverse. The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary.
