Denier - Ebbes II

Déols, a lordship in Berry answerable in theory to the French crown but effectively autonomous through much of the 12th century, minted its own coinage under Ebbes II during a period when Capetian authority in the region was contested and locally-struck billon was the practical currency of daily exchange. The féodales series documents this type under #678, placing it firmly within the mid-century issues before the lordship's eventual absorption into the royal domain.
