| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Gaston d'Orléans facing right, rendered in low relief in the prevailing provincial style. The legend commences at approximately 8 o'clock and runs clockwise around the effigy, without an inner circle or beaded border. The portrait is unadorned save for the laurel wreath, consistent with the series of denier tournois types struck for the Principality of Dombes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gaston d'Orléans — Louis XIII's perpetually conspiring brother — governed Dombes as its sovereign prince while simultaneously remaining one of the most destabilizing figures in French court politics. His involvement in the Fronde, the civil conflicts that convulsed France between 1648 and 1653, did nothing to interrupt minting at Trévoux, where this denier was produced. The principality's autonomy allowed it to strike its own copper coinage entirely outside royal French monetary authority, a privilege jealously maintained by successive Dombes rulers.
This 12th type represents the tail end of Gaston's tenure; he was compelled to cede Dombes to the French crown in 1652.
