FRANCE: Charles IX, 1560-1574, AE medal (19.05g), 1572, Jones I, 122; cf. Mazerolle-243, 38mm unsigned bronze medal, probably for the Birth of Princess Marie-Elizabeth by Germain Pillon, armored and laureate bust with high collar left with CAROLVS IX D G FRANCORVM REX INVIC around, with date below bust // bust of Elizabeth (his wife) left with ruff collar and headdress with ELIZABETH D G FRANCORVM REGINA around, restrike (probably 19th century), die crack at right on obverse, brown with hints of red, plain edge, Choice AU. The reason for this medal is murky, as the couple's marraige was two years earlier in 1570. It may have been to commemorate their first and only child Marie-Elizabeth.
