Denier saint

Besalú was one of the smaller Catalan counties but maintained its own mint with notable tenacity. The county's coinage rights were bound up in the complex feudal web linking it simultaneously to the Crown of Aragon's predecessors and the Frankish sphere, and the deniers struck under Count Guillem II during this period reflect that ambiguity. Besalú was absorbed into the County of Barcelona in 1111 following the death of Count Bernat III without an heir, ending its independent monetary output entirely.
