Denier - William III of Chauvigny

William III ruled Déols during one of the more turbulent stretches of Capetian centralization, when royal pressure on the great lords of Berry to subordinate their minting rights was intensifying. The Lordship of Déols had a long history of independent coinage stretching back well before this issue, but by the early fourteenth century such autonomous seigneurial mints were increasingly anomalous in the French monetary order.

The billon content in deniers of this type is typically very low, reflecting the broad debasement of small seigneurial coinage across the Berry and surrounding regions in the late thirteenth century.
