1 Groat - Louis I of Nevers without border

Louis I of Nevers spent much of his reign caught between the French crown, to whom he owed feudal loyalty, and the Flemish wool towns whose economic survival depended on English trade. The tension finally broke him: after the Flemish defeat at Cassel in 1328 he reimposed French authority, but the great cloth cities never fully submitted, and by the early 1340s Ghent's Jacob van Artevelde had effectively stripped him of real power. This groat was struck during the last full year of Louis's rule before he died at Crécy in August 1346 fighting for Philip VI.

The absence of a border on this type distinguishes it from related issues and is the defining characteristic behind the VGH#185 classification.
