Another silver teston issued during the first year of reign of Charles IX.  This one is referred to as `teston du Dauphine as the reverse bears the arms of France and Dauphine). During this year money continued to be struck bearing the effigy of Henri II. This one was minted at Grenoble (Z mm under the shield). portraits did not wear well on this type coin (my excuse and i'm sticking to it!).
