Historical Tribute to the "Charles VI Gold Half-Heaume 1417"

Charles VI the Mad (1368 - 1422) became King of France at the age of 12. He truly took the reins of power at age 20, after several years of greedy and careless regency by his uncles. Unfortunately, from 1392 onwards, the sovereign suffered from bouts of madness, which considerably weakened his position and his kingdom, which England sought to seize. Weighing 2.4 g with a fineness of 916‰, the Charles VI Gold Half-Heaume was struck in this very troubled context, in 1417. It was issued almost exclusively by the La Rochelle mint, then under royal control, but only for a short period: the regent Dauphin took control of the city in 1418.

⁣⁢Gilded with 999‰ pure gold, the representation of “Half-helm of Gold Charles VI 1417” appears in the center of this unique strike in 999‰ pure silver. Thanks to the talent of master engravers and the highest quality of typing, known as “ Great Test » (BE), every detail of the Original piece is perfectly reproduced. This commemorative coin is strictly limited to 5,000 copies for the whole world. An unmissable offer for all French numismatists!⁤⁣

A very rare coin, the Charles VI Gold Half-Heaume, named after the motif on its obverse, may have been struck by mistake instead of an order for a Gold Agnel, with which it shares the reverse. Nevertheless, the Gold Half-Heaume is a magnificent example of French numismatics, distinguished by the originality of the design engraved on its obverse: the knight's helmet.
