FRANCE. Henri d'Or, 1559-B. Rouen Mint. Francis II. NGC AU Details--Obverse Scratched.
Fr-368; Dup-1023. Weight: 3.57 gms. Struck in the name of Henri II under the rule of Francois II. A decently preserved survivor, this interesting issue struck during the relatively short reign of Francois II, whose name only appears on the Scottish coins, bares the name of his predecessor Henri II. Struck on a somewhat wavy flan, the surfaces display pale hues of gold and orange, adding to its pleasing appearance. Upon close inspection a well-placed short thin old pin scratch is noticed on the bust, but remains hidden when viewed at most angles. Despite its shortcoming, a handsome example with a good look, sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
