2 Deniers 'Double Parisis' - Louis IV

Louis IV of Loon ruled a county whose political position was chronically unstable — squeezed between the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and the Duchy of Brabant, both of whom had competing monetary ambitions in the region. The "Double Parisis" denomination itself derives from the Parisian monetary system, reflecting how deeply French royal coinage had penetrated the Meuse valley as a de facto standard by the early fourteenth century.

The thirteen-year span of this issue suggests continuous production rather than a single emission, consistent with the monetary needs of a small county without the resources to negotiate frequent new coinage agreements with its feudal neighbors.
