Denier - Albert III Bust right

Albert III inherited Namur in 1064 following the death of his father Albert II, holding the county through a period when the Meuse valley's deniers were among the most imitated coin types in the Low Countries — a backhanded measure of their commercial reach. The county's mint output in this decade was modest, and surviving examples with clear attribution to Albert III rather than his predecessors require careful die study against Ilisch's corpus.
