Teston - Charles IX

正面描述	Bare-headed, armored bust of Charles IX facing right, wearing a cuirass with decorative gorget and pauldron rendered in fine engraved detail. The youthful royal effigy is depicted in profile with naturalistic facial features characteristic of French Renaissance portraiture. A laurel wreath adorns the king's head. The circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading CAROLVS VIIII D G FRANC REX, identifying the king as Charles IX, by the Grace of God, King of France. The mint mark appears in the lower field beneath the bust.

背面描述	Central device consisting of the crowned royal arms of France — a shield bearing three fleurs-de-lis arranged two over one — flanked by two interlaced letter C monograms, each surmounted by a small crown, forming the royal cipher of Charles IX. The shield is topped by a large ornate royal crown. The date in Roman numerals appears in the legend, which reads SIT NOMEN DNI BENEDICTUM, a devotional phrase meaning 'Blessed be the name of the Lord.' The overall composition is bold and well-centered, typical of mid-sixteenth-century French hammered silver coinage.
