1/2 Groschen - Odo IV BG under castle

Odo IV became Duke of Burgundy in 1315 through his mother Agnès, herself the last surviving child of Louis IX's son Robert II. His coinage program reflects the administrative consolidation of the duchy following decades of fragile succession — small silver fractions like this were essential for local market exchange at a time when Burgundy was tightening its fiscal grip on the region's commercial towns.

The Barth and Dumas references place this among a well-documented but genuinely scarce series. Die survival is limited, and examples with legible castle details are considerably harder to locate than the references suggest.
