Comments

There are three types: without countermark in obverse, with an eagle and with a lion.

The base coin was minted in 1574-1579. People complained about many fakes, so most of the good ones were countermarked with a lion in 1579 and the rest in 1597. The countermark eagle is previous to the lion, don't know the date but between 1574 and 1579.
