Additional information

The County of Ausona, centered on Vic in what is now Catalonia, issued coinage independently before its absorption into the County of Barcelona — a process formalized when count Bermon died without heirs in 1017, collapsing the line. These small silver pieces circulated in a fragmented political zone where Carolingian overlordship had effectively dissolved and local lords exercised full fiscal authority by the tenth century.

Cruïlles 35 is among the rarer documented Catalan pre-feudal types; surviving examples are few, reflecting both low original mintage and the coin's extended circulation window across more than a century of use.
