Host Coin of Henri IV (ruled 1590-1610), Vlack 1k Type - 1640 countermark on a 1592 [Saint-Palais Mint] Henri IV Douzain de Navarre, 2nd type, Ciani 1566, Duplessy 1260, Sombart 4452. Fine/Very Fine or so, the planchet heavily clipped, affecting the tops of the legends on either side, though the date is fairly sharp on the obverse. Medium gray, the obverse with some raised green spots that can likely be removed, the countermark applied to the reverse, thankfully not obscuring the distinct shield which helps to immediately identify the type. This type was struck only at this mint only from 1590-4; this date has no reported mintage, but is rare enough that Sombart was able to locate just 5 specimens, meaning that it must be quite rare with a 1640 countermark.
