Denaro - Bertrand

Bertrand de Saint-Geniès held the patriarchate from 1334 to 1350, a tenure defined by persistent conflict with the della Scala lords of Verona and repeated struggles to maintain temporal authority over Friuli. The Aquileian patriarchs functioned as secular princes as much as ecclesiastical figures, and their coinage was an instrument of that dual authority — issued not from Rome's sanction but from the patriarchate's own mint at Udine.

Bernardi catalogues two die varieties for this type, distinguished in references #43 and #44, suggesting active production across multiple phases of Bertrand's rule rather than a single concentrated issue.
