A friend found this coin/token yesterday with his metal detector. Dated 1575, it looks similar to both the French Dozain of Henri 3rd and some tokens of the same period. However we have been unable to find one with the same reverse. Grateful for your suggestions. Thanks.

bonjour

 

voir dans le FEUARDENT, le jeton devrait s'y trouver proche de la référence F.1754 qui correspond aux jetons de LA CHAMBRE DES COMPTES DU ROI HENRI III 1575

Celui qui pose une question risque de paraître sot pendant cinq minutes, mais celui qui n'en pose pas restera sot toute sa vie.

Il n'est pas dans le Feuardent, peut-être le Rouyer.

No, only the information supplied by respondents to the original post. Pretty sure that as mentioned, it is a Jeton dated 1575 and issued under Henri 3rd of France.

It would be easier without your fingers to read the legend : 

CAMERAE. COMPVTOR. REGIORVM

or

CAMERA COMPVTORVM REGIORVM

These token with an “ecu de France couronné accosté de deux H couronnés” are listed under Henri II in the Feuardent. But no token from Henri II bear CAMERAE. COMPVTOR. REGIORVM on reverse.

So may be an unregistered token from Henri III as the token above.
