Denier - Charles I

正面描述	Central plain cross with a pendant lily ornament at the base and a small omega symbol in the lower right angle, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The four quarters of the cross are plain. The surrounding legend, separated from the field by the beaded circle, reads CAROLVS COMES, identifying the issuer as Charles, Count of Anjou. The entire design is characteristic of mid-13th century feudal French hammered billon coinage, with an irregularly shaped flan typical of the period.

附加信息	Charles I of Anjou struck these deniers during the period between his receipt of the county from his brother Louis IX in 1246 and his departure to claim the Kingdom of Sicily following papal investiture in 1266. The Sicilian campaign, financed partly through aggressive taxation of Anjou and Provence, almost certainly disrupted normal coin production as resources were redirected southward toward one of the most expensive military ventures of the thirteenth century. Billon quality in Angevin issues of this period varied considerably depending on available silver supplies and political pressure to debase.
