Denier - Guy VII

Guy VII ruled the Viscounty of Limoges for barely three years before dying in 1317, leaving no male heir — a vacancy that triggered a prolonged succession dispute and ultimately accelerated the absorption of Limoges into the French royal domain. Billon coinage from such minor feudal lordships in this period was produced in small, irregular runs, often at facilities lacking consistent alloy control, which accounts for the wide variation in silver content seen across surviving examples of this type.
