Medal strike. Double piéfort weighing the same as the teston. Our specimen is very similar to the one in the Marchéville collection (though the weight differs). Attractive grey patina. Very rare. Very Fine to Superb.
It should be noted that whilst the piéfort is dated 1552, all specimens of the demi-teston are undated
