| Additional information |
Louis VI ruled as the first Capetian king to meaningfully consolidate royal coinage, deliberately pushing back against the barons and bishops who had fragmented minting rights across France for generations. The Montreuil issues belong to this broader campaign — Montreuil-sur-Mer was a commercially active northern possession where control of the mint carried real fiscal and political weight.
The "2e type" distinction in Duplessy's classification reflects a die-modification sequence rather than a separate emission, and the absence of LP and standard Royales references suggests this variety was insufficiently documented at the time of earlier major catalogues.
