| Additional information |
The Blanc of Charles VII emerged from the monetary ordinance of 1435, the same year the Treaty of Arras reconciled the French crown with Burgundy — effectively ending the Anglo-Burgundian alliance that had kept the English entrenched in northern France for two decades. The crown's renewed political footing made monetary reform both possible and urgent; decades of competing issues, debasements, and English occupation coinages had left French currency in a fractured state.
