The second specimen was lot 245 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $453.75. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE, Royal. Henri IV le Grand (the Great). 1589–1610. CU Double tournois. Lyon mint. Dated 1607 D. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 62 BN. Deep brown patina with a hint of red coming through. Wonderful strike. Only coin of this date graded. Purchased from Superior Stamp & Coin, December 1973." The specimen shown is a double tournois of Henry IV (r. 1589-1610) struck by the hammer at the Lyon mint (mintmark "D") in 1607. The Lyon mint struck this type in substantial quantities 1606-09. These coins were produced by private contractors in large quantities at a profusion of mints and in many varieties until the 1640's. The issues of Henry IV were reasonable compared to those of the regency of Louis XIII, when the queen-mother sold production contracts to many of her supporters. The face value was two deniers. The second specimen was lot 3288 in Aureo y Calicó sale 422 (Barcelona, December 2023), where it sold for 80 € (about US$104 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted, "Francia. 1607.
