| Additional information |
Bernard II of Anduze held his lordship during a period when southern French magnates routinely struck their own coinage as an assertion of jurisdictional independence from both the French crown and competing regional powers. The Languedoc was thick with such local issues in the twelfth century, and the deniers of Anduze and Sauvé occupy a narrow but documented niche within that proliferation. Billon quality varied considerably between lords and even between dies, and surviving examples of this type tend toward the lighter end of the expected range.
