This specimen was lot 72172 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Santa Ana, CA, May 2017), where it sold for $352.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. Teston, 1561-M. Henry II (1547-59). NGC AU-53. Lightly toned with good underlying luster." Duplessy lists this type for 1560-61. It was struck by the hammer for Charles IX, not Henry II.

This coin had a face value of 11 sols and 4 deniers tournois.
