Host Coin of Henri III (ruled 1574-1589), Vlack 1i Type - 1640 countermark on a 1586-D [Lyon Mint] Henri III Douzain aux Deux H, 1st type, Ciani 1450, Duplessy 1140, Sombart 4398. Fine, the peripheral legends mostly strong on either side, including the date and mintmark. The countermark is somewhat weakly impressed on the obverse, and may also be a counterfeit mark. Some variegated color and light green suggests this may have been a burial piece, likely one of the coins dug up in Canada or the Louisiana territory.
