| Additional information |
Charles VI issued this second-type agnel during one of the most fractured periods in French monetary history — the kingdom was effectively partitioned between Armagnac and Burgundian factions, with Henry V's English forces pressing deep into Normandy following Agincourt. Royal mint output was erratic and geographically inconsistent across this period, with several mints operating under divided loyalties. The agnel itself had been revived under Charles V decades earlier as a deliberate prestige piece, its gold purity pitched to command confidence at a moment when the French crown's credibility was under sustained attack.
