Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Charles IX Teston 1561-L, Bayonne mint, Roberts-3515, Duplessy-1052, AU55 NGC. Struck with the titles of Henry II (1547-1559), but produced at the beginning of Charles IX's reign to satisfy the need to for circulating coinage. A sharp example for the type with an impressively defined central design and some legend loss as is typical on many hammered issues. Deep, but attractively toned.
Estimate: 400-600 USD
