Denier - Raynard II

Raynard II held the county of Sens during a period when Capetian authority in the Île-de-France remained contested and local magnates retained meaningful autonomy over minting rights. The deniers struck under his name belong to a regional billon coinage that circulated primarily within the ecclesiastical and commercial networks anchored at Sens, one of the oldest archiepiscopal seats in France. PA#5904 places this type within Poey d'Avant's mid-eleventh century grouping for the county, though attributions within the Sens sequence have historically been complicated by die-sharing and overlapping types across successive comital issues.
