Description: | Copper alloy counterfeit of a silver douzain of Henri III (1574-1589) or Henri IV (1589-1610) of France, both of whose douzains had the reverse cross with two lis and two crowns in the angles, and an 'H' on either side of the shield on the obverse of the coin. Using copper alloy presumably gave the forger his profit. Made during the reign of Louis XIII around the ordinance of June, 1640, with a fake countermark. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
