Image Title: Coins of King Henry II of France
Description: Two sets of coins featuring the name and portrait of King Henry II of France (r. 1547-1559). The two coins on the left represent, on the front side, King Henry wearing a garland and regal clothes, and on the reverse, a seated Roman soldier who with an outstretched hand supports a wreath-bearing angel. The coins on the right depict King Henry in light armor, while the reverse features a design with four initial letters H surrounded with crowns and fleurs-de-lis; encircling this image is the Latin motto DVM TOTVM, COMPLEAT ORBEM.
