FRANCE, Provincial. Navarre (Kingdom). Antoine de Bourbon. 1555-1562. AR Medal (37mm, 26.45 g, 12h). Monnaie du Moulin, Paris mint. By Etienne Delaune. Struck circa 1562. ANTONIVS · D · G · REX · NAVARRÆ, armored bust right, wearing ruff / (rosette) FLOVET · ET · DISCVTIT (rosette), radiant sun over sea within arch of clouds. Janes I 76 (same dies). Old cabinet toning, edge filed. Near EF.

Ex Neil A. Goodman Collection.

This specimen is lacking the small die break on the right of the A in NAVARRÆ that is exhibited on the British Museum specimen. As that coin, from the same die but in a later state, was in the collection of George III, this piece is most likely not a 19th century restrike, and in all probability is a contemporary issue.
