Mantellier# 44.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Teston - Henry II (3rd type) 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 era.
