Dad gave me this what appear to be French Louis XIII denier, but without specific identification. I tried to match to the Numista catalogue and the closest I get is 1627 or 28 Bordeaux 2'nd type - N#52177. Mostly because the effigy base extends well beyond the inner circle and this seems to be the only matching case. However the lettering only shows NA instead of the full NAV, unless this is just a large metal cud or a piece of grime.
But I am also totally un-clued by the reverse lettering that clearly (to me) shows letter VB(or inverse R)L which is not included at all in any of the denier reverse inscription. Scans and pictures below - any suggestions?
