Host Coin of Clement VIII, Struck at Carpentras, Vlack 1n Type - 1640 countermark on a 1595 [Carpentras Mint] Papal Douzain of Clement VIII, Berman 1528, letter A in obverse shield, SILSABELLVS reverse legend, rose and lions in fields of reverse cross. Very Fine, well struck, the planchet slightly small so that over half the legends are visible on either side, some with the tops of letters off the planchet; the date is sharp on the reverse. Nice central designs, despite a deep countermark on the reverse; the obverse shield especially sharp. Another piece likely struck in debased billon, the color not quite full copper.
