FRANCE. 1/2 Heaume dOr, ND (ca. 1418). La Rochelle Mint. Charles VI (1380-1422). NGC EF-45.Fr-296; Dupl-374A. The confused politics of the time prevent us from saying whether it was issued by the dauphin, the Burgundians or the English. This specimen is slightly out of round and a little wavy but the focal design, the helmeted arms ("heaume" = helmet) are bold. <strong>VERY RARE</strong>.
