Henry II of France was an intrepid King whose 16th-century reign, though brief, formed a historic turning point for France. The last of the truly effective members of the House of Valois to sit on the French throne, he left his mark on everything from the borders of Europe to the development of patent law. Pieces of his parade armor reside in the Louvre and Vienna’s Museum of Ethnology, and a full set along with the famous Shield of Henry II of France is on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This extraordinary ceremonial shield is celebrated in miniaturized detail by the 2 oz Shield of Henry II de France Silver Stacker, now available from JM Bullion.
Collectible Highlights:
Famous artists in Paris of the sixteenth century contributed to the artistic designs that appeared on their King’s elaborate parade armor and shield. Etienne Delauney, Jean Cousin the Elder, and Baptiste Pellerin are all believed to have contributed to the intricate imagery that adorns the Shield of Henry II of France: a battle scene surrounded by Classically-inspired designs and motifs associated with the monarchy. It has to be counted as one of the most impressive feats of medallic artwork in 2022 for Coins Today to have replicated the two-foot-tall original at a tenth of its size while preserving so much of its detail.
The Shield of Henry II de France Silver Stacker is one of the most beautiful bullion issues of 2022, a shaped medallion featuring high-relief artwork and a light antique finish. JM Bullion ships each piece fully insured against loss or damage in a secure plastic capsule.
The stacker’s obverse side features a rendition of the original artwork from the museum-displayed Shield of Henry II de France. A representation of the Battle of Cannae, thought to represent a parallel to France’s struggles against the Holy Roman Empire, is at the centre, surrounded by complicated motifs and symbolism associated with the King and the office of the monarchy. The reverse side is blank save for a reverse impression of the images on the main face, making the round easily stackable.

"The detail is insane! The images on line do not do this piece justice, and I was curious as to where the purity markings were, being they are not visible in the photos. It's on the opposite edge from the 3rd image (see the Achilles Shield Stacker)"
"Alittle steep on the price"
"Magnificent detail. Spectacular."
