Host Coin of Henri IV (ruled 1590-1610), Vlack 1k Type - 1640 countermark on an unknown date and mint Henri IV Douzain aux Deux H, 2nd type. Ciani 1563, Duplessy 1247, Sombart 4420. Fine or so, clipped enough that only parts of the legends are visible, though the design detail is of this grade level and is sufficient to at least identify the host coin type. Darker olive color, with some green encrustations on either side that is likely removable (and a rather typical condition for the coins with the 1640 countermark extant today!). What makes this one special is that it has TWO of the 1640 countermarks, done with the same punch both on the obverse, and both sharp. Double stamped issues are quite rare, with perhaps under a dozen known on all the different douzain types combined.
