Fake Henry III Teston? [解決]

Hi,

Saw this on a auction, but the position of the legend seems off (the position of II D G relatively to the head):


the one here on numista:

The reverse is ok though.

Also, it's 9.3g.

If genuine, any idea of value?

thanks.

Position of the letters on this one is close to yours, but it is a slightly different bust: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7458698

My guess is that yours is within the expected degree of die variation for the type. But it would be nice if a member who is expert in French coins would give an opinion.

Each letter of the legend would be individually hand stamped onto the coin die using letter punches, so some sort of variation is to be expected.
