Host Coin of Dombes, Vlack Unlisted Type - 1640 countermark on 1597 [Treboux Mint] Dombes Douzain of Henri II de Bourbon-Montpensier, Divo Dombes 101. Very Fine, a sharply struck example, all the legend visible on the obverse, and a sharp shield there as well. The reverse die was slightly misaligned, showing denticles at the top, but cutting off the tops of some letters at the base of that side; the date is sharp. The countermark is applied at the exact center of the reverse at the intersection of the arms of the cross. Lovely light steel gray, the surfaces hard, though with a little light mottling at the lower obverse. One of the best struck Dombes douzains we have seen used for a 1640 countermark, especially nice with the full date and large, unclipped planchet. Extremely rare in this condition.
