| Beschrijving voorzijde | A fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of hammered billon coinage of the period. The device is positioned centrally within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads LVDOVICVS REX (King Louis) in uncial Latin characters, interrupted by the inner circle border. The overall flan is irregular in shape, as is typical for hand-struck medieval French deniers. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis XI authorized the denier bourdelois as part of a broader monetary reorganization following France's absorption of Guyenne, the former English-held territory centered on Bordeaux. The type takes its name directly from that city — "bourdelois" being a regional designation, not a mint mark — and was struck at multiple provincial mints as a low-denomination workhorse for everyday transactions in the newly reintegrated southwest.
Louis was notoriously interventionist in monetary policy, repeatedly adjusting alloy standards and denominations to fund his campaigns against the great feudal lords. The billon content here, at barely five percent silver, reflects chronic fiscal pressure rather than debasement by neglect.
