Host Coin of Charles IX (ruled 1560-1574), Vlack 1h Type - 1640 countermark on a 1575-& [Aix Mint] Charles IX Douzain aux Deux C, Ciani 1386, Duplessy 1088, Sombart 4390. Fine to Very Fine, over half the obverse and all the reverse legends visible, and with excellent central design detail. An unusual issue in the series, the date is located on the obverse directly before the mintmark at the base of the shield – the present example shows both. A strong countermark, placed at the very center of the obverse. This type was struck from 1572-5 only, though at least 16 different mints coined them; when a 1640 countermark is seen on a Charles IX issue it is usually of this type.
