| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the abbreviation PV/IE arranged in two lines, surmounted by a fleur-de-lis crown rendered in relief. The crown rises prominently above the lettering, with fleurs flanking the central lily finial. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the central device, separated from the field by a beaded inner border. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval Provençal billon coinage, with bold, deeply struck lettering typical of the hammered technique. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fleurdelisée cross with arms extending to the legend, with each canton adorned by a fleur-de-lis in the second and third quarters of the design. The arms of the cross are boldly struck and terminate near the inner circle, creating four clearly defined quarters. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters runs along the outer border, separated from the central cross by a beaded inner ring. The style is consistent with the feudal coinage of the County of Provence from the late fourteenth to early fifteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis II of Anjou, Count of Provence from 1384, spent much of his reign pursuing a dynastic claim to the Kingdom of Naples — a campaign that drained Provençal finances repeatedly and forced local monetary compromises. His son Louis III inherited both the county and the Neapolitan ambition in 1417, continuing the same monetary policy with little interruption. The double denier Provençal thus spans two reigns without meaningful change in type, which explains why attributing individual pieces to one count or the other depends entirely on subtle die characteristics rather than any formal recoinage.
