| Additional information |
The anonymous deniers of Champagne present one of the more persistent attribution puzzles in French medieval numismatics. The Provins and Sens mints operated under comital authority during the mid-to-late eleventh century, a period when the counts of Champagne were actively consolidating their commercial dominance over the great fairs that would later define the region's medieval economy — though that infrastructure was still forming during this coin's likely production window.
The "var." designation against PA#5970 signals a die combination or minor type detail not fully captured by Poey d'Avant's classification, which is unsurprising given how numerous the anonymous comb-type variants are across both mints.
