| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a stylized cross with splayed or fleurée terminals, typical of feudal French hammered coinage of the late 12th to early 13th century. The cross divides the field into four quarters. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading the name and title of the issuing count. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-struck medieval production. Surface shows characteristic patination and wear associated with long circulation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Renaud of Dammartin acquired Boulogne through his 1190 marriage to Ida of Boulogne, heiress to the county, and spent much of his subsequent tenure switching allegiances between the Capetian and Plantagenet crowns with remarkable opportunism. His coinage reflects a period of acute political instability — he ultimately backed Otto IV at Bouvines in 1214, ending on the losing side of one of medieval France's most consequential battles. He spent the remaining thirteen years of his life imprisoned by Philip II, dying in chains at Péronne in 1227.
