The description of the legends got messed up, but I noticed the king's name is spelled heNRIC' ... That last symbol looks like what we call an apostrophe, but in a thread hosted by @spence, we learned that it actually is a printer's shorthand for the letters "US" which would complete Henry's latin name, Henricus.
