2 Deniers Parisis - Yolande of Flanders

Yolande of Flanders ruled Bar as regent following the death of her husband Henri IV in 1344, one of the few women to exercise direct coinage authority in medieval France. Her regency coincided almost exactly with the Black Death's first sweep through northeastern France, and the disruption to trade and population that followed makes surviving issues from this brief window genuinely scarce. The Flon#10 attribution places this among a tightly documented sequence of Bar deniers, but Yolande's issues remain underrepresented in major collections relative to her male predecessors.
