Taler (Silver, 41 mm, 28.91 g, 3 h), Nancy, 1557. ☩CAROL:D:G:CALA:LOTHO:BARGVEL:DVX Bareheaded and cuirassed bust of the youthful, fourteen-year-old, Duke Charles to right. Rev.

The smoothed area on the cheek seems to have been done long ago, probably by an early collector who wished to efface distracting traces of overstriking.
