Julien New Member Switzerland 2 Posts	Posted 05/08/2017 07:29 am Hello, I found a coin and I would like to know if it's anything special. Couldn't find anything similar with Google so I'm going to post pictures here. What I could read is "Henricus //some roman numbers// franc rex" on the head side. I apologize in advance if this is not the standard format for this kind of query. Best regards, Julien * Edited by Staff to crop images. Please crop images before uploading.

Seems like you have a Teston https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces8223.html or 1/2 Teston https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces8222.html from Henri II Due the quality of the pictures, it is hard to say exactly which one. I provided some links that should direct you towards a final answer. As far as the gold, it may be gilded, or simply gold toned. I cannot find any gold issues that looked like that.

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 05/09/2017 1:07 pm @Julien, first welcome to CCF. Second, I wonder if you could please post a picture of the edge of your coin. I see that the edge appears to have been trimmed some, but I would be interested in seeing what that looks like. thx.
