panzerman Posted February 5 · Member Author Share Posted February 5 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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
