<p>[QUOTE="John Scholefield, post: 5204320, member: 116562"]Hi - your coin interested me because I had not seen it before, and so I went a searching. It is not particularly uncommen, there are several for sale on Ebay France, and Google images likewise. Overstrikes were done a lot at the French mints at this time. The mint letter and the date are both featured on the obverse overstrike die, but are not clear on your example. The base coin, you are right is a Henri II douzain, but also interesting. The 5 pointed star under the sheild indicates it is from the Chambery mint, (not common) and the date is 1552 (the 2 is inverted as it is in HENRICUS 2).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
