Host Coin of Henri IV (ruled 1590-1610), Vlack 1k Type - 1640 countermark on a 1594-D [Lyon Mint] Henri IV Douzain aux Deux H, 1st type. Ciani Unlisted, Duplessy 1246, Sombart 4418. Very Good, cleanly worn, but with at least half the legends visible on the obverse, a little less on the reverse. The date and mintmark are weaker but can be made out – and though this is the same date and mint as the next lot, it is of a different design type (note that the reverse has crowns in each of the four fields of the cross, while the following lot alternates crowns and fleur-de-lys), showing even more ways one can collect the series. The countermark is applied to the reverse, and was double stamped, closely overlapping with only part of the oval border visible from the original mark.
