| Additional information |
The Marquisate of Baux was one of the most turbulent lordships in medieval Provence — the Baux family spent centuries in near-constant conflict with the Counts of Provence before the line died out in 1426, at which point the territory passed through Angevin hands before eventually falling under Grimaldi influence. Monaco's commemorative euro program has consistently drawn on this layered feudal history, issuing coins that reference jurisdictions most collectors need to look up.
