| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a stylized castle or tower depicted in a schematic, romanesque manner, with two pellets visible within the structure and an ellipse or annulet below the base. The design is rendered in the crude but characteristic style of 13th-century French feudal coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, separated from the field by a beaded inner border. The overall strike is irregular, typical of hammered billon deniers of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John I of Blois inherited the county in 1241 and spent much of his reign entangled in the complex web of Capetian vassalage politics, his coinage rights a point of periodic friction with the French crown as Louis IX methodically worked to suppress baronial minting across the realm. This denier belongs to a broad emission spanning nearly four decades, making precise dating within the type essentially impossible without die-study analysis.
Billon deniers from smaller Capetian-era counties survive in surprisingly uneven quantities — Blois issues in particular turn up more often in hoard context than in single finds.
