Added a Henri III 1/4 Ecu 1583 to my collection, I would like to confirm, please, if it is authentic. From what I read it's 1583 1/4 Ecu Bayonne mint (L) Could an experienced member confirm the authenticity please? Report this Post to the Staff

ambr0zie New Member Romania 3 Posts	Posted 01/06/2020 3:13 pm Thanks Echizento. I am a collector for many years but today was the first time I have ever heard about this forum. The coin appears to be silver (definitely not magnetic and I tested it using the ice cube method) and weights about 10 g, this seems correct (I only have a kitchen digital scale, this is why I said just "seems") Medieval coins are not my area, but I wanted a coin from Henri III and one from Henri IV (I already have one), both in good condition. Quite happy with this one in the topic, the price was more than OK, but I want to make sure it is genuine. Edited by ambr0zie 01/06/2020 3:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7952 Posts	Posted 01/06/2020 4:30 pm It looks good to me. I have a couple of Henry III coins, though not this denomination. You can compare to the 1583L in this search: https://wcn.pl/archive?q=Henry+1583 @erafjel also has a lot of French royal coins, and may be able to comment. Very nice coin. Often the coins from this reign are off-round, flawed planchets, etc Edited by tdziemia 01/06/2020 4:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ambr0zie New Member Romania 3 Posts	Posted 01/07/2020 02:18 am Thank you. I was looking for a Henri III coin for quite a while and it seemed pretty hard to find one in good condition AND a good price. My goal would be now a Charles IX and perhaps a Henri of Navarre to complete the period I'm interested in, but a coin from Henri III was the main "concern". Report this Post to the Staff
