France Henri d'or 1557 La Rochelle Henri II, La Rochelle, Unique, Gold, GENI AU58

Prijsbieding

Bust of King Henry II, right, with damascened cuirass., Cross formed of 4 crowned Hs, cantoned at 1 and 3 by an outward-facing crescent and at 2 and 4 by an outward-facing fleur-de-lys. In the heart, the mint letter (H)., The quality of this Henri d'or is exceptional This type with Henri II wearing a damascened cuirass is already a rarity, very few examples are known and for only a few mints and dates, but here we have a completely new coin! In addition to its exceptional quality and superb patina, the experienced numismatist will notice that the reverse legend is faulty, with "ROBEM" engraved instead of "ORBEM", making this a unique coin! There is a slight weakness in the strike of the cuirass, which can be seen on the reverse on two crowns (ones on 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock), but this doesn't affect the quality of the coin at all. As for the rest, the coin hasn't circulated that much, although we can still see a superb portrait of Henry II with his finely engraved cuirass!, HENRICVS•II•D•G•FRAN•REX (Boar's Head), (Sun) DVM•TOTVM•COMPLEAT•ROBEM (Snake's head) 1557
