Denier - Eudes Ier Reproduction

A reproduction of the denier issued by Eudes I, Count of Blois, in the late tenth or early eleventh century. The original type circulated in a feudal monetary environment where counts, bishops, and abbots minted independently under nominal Capetian authority — the crown's control over coinage was largely theoretical. Tin composition immediately identifies this as a modern cast or struck copy; medieval deniers were silver, however debased.
