Additional information

Cahors occupied a peculiar constitutional position in the 12th century — the bishop and the city consulate shared minting authority in an arrangement that generated persistent jurisdictional friction. The anonymous style of these deniers, deliberately avoiding any named authority, was almost certainly a political compromise rather than an oversight, allowing both parties to claim the coinage without either conceding supremacy to the other.
