Denier - Guy I

Guy I of Châtillon became Count of Blois in 1307 through inheritance from his mother, Margaret of Blois, uniting the Châtillon and Blois lines. His reign coincided with the suppression of the Templars, the Avignon papacy, and near-constant Capetian financial pressure on the great lords — circumstances that made independent seigneurial coinage both a practical necessity and a political assertion for counts of his rank.

Billon deniers of this type are frequently encountered in heavily worn condition, consistent with prolonged petty commerce use in the Loire valley markets.
