Obverse: armored bust right; reverse: cross formed of four crowned &quot;H's&quot; with two crescents and two fleurs-de-lys in the fields. A VERY RARE type, the first we have offered. Appears to be quite severely undergraded and looks more like an Choice Extremely Fine example to this cataloger. Reasonably good strike and covered with soft satin luster. A exceptional example of this issue and a type missing from many advanced collections.&quot;<br /> <br /> 7.30 g, .958 fine gold, 5 livres tournois. struck 1550-58.</div>
