FRANCE. Franc a Cheval, ND (1350-64). John II (the Good). NGC EF-45.
Fr-279; Dup-294. John II faced multiple disasters unfolding in France at the time this coin was issued.

The plague killed off nearly half the French population, while at the same time John found himself imprisoned in London, essentially held for ransom. Upon his release in 1360 and signing of the Treaty of Brétigny, France lost nearly a third of her territory to England.

Estimate: $1100.00- $1300.00
