Hello everyone! I hope someone can help me with this french coin - it looks like a douzain of Charles 9, but I can't find one similar anywhere on the internet - with two letters C and four fleurs-de-lis in a cross on the back.
All coins I found are with four crowns or with two crowns/two fleurs-de-lis.
Does anyone have a French catalog so I can learn more about this coin? The weight is 2.5 grams. Thanks!

Interesting coin. It is not present in the standard reference works (Duplessy's Les monnaies françaises royales or Lafaurie's Monnaies des rois de France).

It can be either Charles IX or money coined in the name of the usurper Charles X (unfortunately the ordinal number after CAROLVS is not readable). It is minted in Rouen (mint letter 'B' below the shield).

There are a number of varieties with various combinations of fleurs-de-lis, crowns, and the letter 'C' around the cross (or even dolphins for coins minted in Dauphine), but the one with four fleurs-de-lis doesn't seem to be described anywhere.

Erafjel, thanks for the help! I assumed that there was no such variety in the catalogs, apparently I should contact a specialist in French coins.
