Host Coin of Henri IV (ruled 1590-1610), Vlack 1k Type - 1640 countermark on a 1594-Z [Grenoble Mint] Henri IV Douzain du Dauphine, 2nd type, Ciani 1564, Duplessy 1257, Sombart 4442. Very Fine, nicely struck, the legends mostly full, sharp save an area at the left obverse where the planchet was clipped. Nice design detail, showing most of the dolphins in the obverse shield (one obscured by the countermark there) and in the fields formed by the reverse cross. Medium silver gray, clean and nice eye appeal. This type was only struck at this mint, and only from 1593-7 – but despite this limited output the host coins are relatively available today; still, it is a distinct type within the series, and popular as such.
