Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux is one of the smallest dioceses in France, tucked into the Tricastin region of the Dauphiné, and its bishops exercised minting rights that were perpetually contested by the Dauphin and later the French crown. The anonymous attribution here reflects a genuine gap in the episcopal record — no surviving documentation ties this type securely to a named bishop within the 1310–1340 window, a period that saw at least three different incumbents.
Chareyron's regional study remains the primary reference for Tricastin ecclesiastical coinage, and his numbering for this type has held where broader corpora like Poey d'Avant have occasionally misattributed similar pieces to neighboring sees.
