Need a little help on this one. On the obverse right after "HENRI.III.R.DE.FRAN.ET.POL" seems to be a pretty clear letter "V". Except I went through the entire Henri III coins in Numista and can't find one with a V. Is it not a V or did I just miss that particular coin? I also attached the reverse, but they all seem to be the same wording (and its kind of rough).
Thanks - Chris

Maybe is an A for Paris?

I thought about that, but then it would be upside down from all the other lettering which I don't think is the way it works?

I agree with luca biondi, it's a "A".
For this serie, when the mint letter is written at the bottom of the coin, we should read it directly (it's not really part of the lettering ;) )

Second type, without date : https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57059.html

The reverse has that crown emblem so Cycnos’ link seems like the one.
