Comment
Imitation of the 1st type Douzain of king Henry IV (see link below).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Douzain - Henry II 1594-1606 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 was not commonly seen on coins of that time.
