| Additional information |
Gérard II de Roussillon ruled a county whose allegiance was actively contested between the Crown of Aragon and the County of Barcelona throughout the twelfth century. His coinage was struck during a period when the county's political future was effectively being decided by treaty rather than arms — Roussillon would pass definitively into Aragonese hands under Alfonso II by 1172, the very year this issue ceases.
Poey d'Avant's classification of this type rests on a small surviving corpus, and attribution to Gérard II specifically rather than to the broader Roussillon series depends heavily on the Perpignan mint's output conventions of the period.
