This specimen was lot 10204 in Ponterio sale 169 (Baltimore, November 2012), where it sold for $235. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. Teston, 1563-M. Charles IX (1560-74). Toned. NGC EF-45. From the Demarete Collection." The specimen shown is a teston of Charles IX of France (r. 1560-74) struck by the hammer at the Toulouse mint (mintmark "M") in 1563.

During the Wars of Religion, which broke out during his reign, the Protestants seized and operated several mints.
