Please add your coins from Henri III 1574-89

Henri III was recalled to France from Poland to be crowned King in 1574 when his older brother Charles IX died. This was a time of religious conflict in France.

One of my favorite characters in the entire world history. But just because I loved the fiction literature about him, I don't think he was a very competent ruler ...

I love when you're "flat broke" @panzerman and can still afford such beauties !

Here's a demi franc I could buy while I was rich enough to afford it 😄

That is a really nice portrait example Q! I don't have any coins from Riom Mint.

 

Gotta admit though/ definately could not afford a Henri II/ Francois II or Henri IV AV Ecu d'or au soleil! These are bloody $$$$. I cannot understand why AV coins from Henri IV Navarre 1589-1610 are so pricey? I would have guessed that Charles X 1590/91 would be rarer.😗 Interesting time in France 1547-89/
