Denier - Hugh I

Hugh I ruled Burgundy for just three years before his death in 1079, making his coinage among the shortest-lived issues of any Capetian duchy. The Dumas#1 designation places this as the foundational type in the series — not because it was particularly prolific, but because it anchors the monetary reform Hugh inherited from Robert I and briefly continued before the duchy passed to Odo I.

Billon deniers of this period from Burgundy are notoriously difficult to attribute with confidence; die production was inconsistent and legends routinely blundered. The Dijon minting authority had not yet standardized output the way it would under later dukes.
