| Additional information |
Hugh IV Adhemar ruled Montélimar during a period when the Rhône corridor was perpetually contested — the Hundred Years' War had fractured royal monetary authority across southern France, and local lords routinely asserted independent coinage rights by default rather than by formal grant. The Adhemar family had held Montélimar since the twelfth century, and their billon issues circulated primarily in local trade, rarely traveling far beyond the immediate Drôme region.
Chareyron's study of Montélimar coinage remains the foundational reference for attributing these pieces, as PA and Divo/Frank classifications alone are insufficient to distinguish the finer die variants within the Adhemar series.
