| Additional information |
The Bishopric of Geneva held comital rights over the surrounding territory throughout this period, placing its bishops in direct competition with the counts of Savoy and the lords of Faucigny for regional dominance. Guy de Faucigny served as bishop from 1083 to 1119, succeeded by Humbert de Grammont, and the attribution of specific dies to each pontificate remains contested among specialists. HMZ assigns this type to both reigns collectively, reflecting unresolved die-study questions rather than a confirmed joint issue.
