| Additional information |
The anonymous billon halves of the Burgundian duchy span one of the most politically charged periods in late medieval numismatics — from the assassination of John the Fearless at Montereau in 1419 through the death of Charles the Bold at Nancy in 1477 and the subsequent Habsburg absorption of the territories. Attributing anonymous issues within this range is genuinely difficult; the duchy ran multiple mints simultaneously at Dijon, Auxonne, and Châlon, and output varied sharply with military expenditure.
The absence of Prieur-Argente and Dumas references here is telling — this piece likely falls into the unresolved fringe of the series where die studies have not yet produced firm attributions.
