Host Coin of Henri II (ruled 1547-1559), Vlack 1g Type - 1640 countermark on a 1552-K [Bordeaux Mint] Henri II Douzain aux Croissants, Ciani 1305, Duplessy 997, Sombart 4380. Very Fine, a nice, sharply struck example, the legends, date and mintmark all clear and with strong design detail on either side; the countermark is on the reverse. Medium gray, the surfaces clean, with one tiny edge crack, but very little in the way of marks from circulation. A tough issue to find this sharp.
