Comment
Imitation of the 3rd type 1/4 Ecu of king Henry IV (link below).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ecu - Henry II 1604 coin from the Principality of Dombes is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Principality on the reverse side, which sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination issued by the French States during that time period.
