| Beschrijving voorzijde | A plain cross pattée dominates the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The second quarter of the cross bears the letter Є, serving as a distinctive mint or county mark. The surrounding legend, in Gothic Latin characters, reads HVGVO BRVNNI, identifying the issuer as Hugh the Brown. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, characteristic of hand-hammered medieval coinage. The overall style is typical of feudal French deniers of the mid-thirteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hugh XII ruled Angoulême during a period of sustained Capetian pressure on the great southern lordships, and his coinage reflects the shrinking monetary autonomy of a county increasingly absorbed into the French royal orbit. His father Hugh XI had submitted to Alphonse de Poitiers in 1252; by the time Hugh XII died in 1282, Angoulême had effectively passed into the Capetian sphere through inheritance. These deniers circulated in a region that would formally come to the French crown shortly after.
The Dy féodales reference 954 places this squarely within the later Lusignan-affiliated Angoulême sequence, struck at a weight already showing the progressive debasement common to mid-thirteenth-century feudal silver across Aquitaine.
