Host Coin of Charles X (proclaimed King 1589-1590), Vlack 1j Type - 1640 countermark on a 1593-S [Troyes Mint] Charles X Douzain aux Deux C, 1st type, Ciani 1491, Duplessy 1180a, Sombart 4412. Very Fine, on a clipped planchet that is almost square in shape, the clipping affecting perhaps 1/3 of the legends on either side – though thankfully both the date and mintmark are there and strong. The countermark is lightly impressed on the reverse, causing little flattening at the area opposite on the obverse. Attractively toned, the unusual shape quite impressive.
