Good day ladies and gentlemen.
First of all apologies for the bad
quality of the pics - maximum my
cheap phone can produce.
I have this Double Tournois I would like you to
help identify, please.
Badly worn - but from what I read it could be Henri III Valois on the
reverse?
Under the
portrait, slightly right
side, I can see L and this might come from FRAN ET
POL -
France and
Poland (not sure but I think Henri III was the only
king using this term).
Any
help is greatly appreciated. Perhaps there is someone experienced in
French 15th-16th-17th century coins and can compare the
portrait (or what's left from the
portrait in my case
)
I am not a
medieval coins collector but I admit I'd be more than happy, for personal reasons, if the coin is struck under Henri III and not any other
king.
And also - is it worth trying to clean it? not sure if that green substance (verdigris?) will damage the coin and not sure if cleaning will destroy it.
Many thanks in advance.
------later edit - it was identified as Henri III - Rouen
Mint .
I would like to thank everybody who read this topic.
