| Additional information |
Montauban was one of the last functioning Huguenot mints, operating under the political protections granted by the Edict of Nantes. By 1629, those protections were collapsing. Richelieu's forces had taken La Rochelle the previous year, and Montauban itself came under renewed royal pressure almost immediately after this coinage was struck.
The city's mint rights were extinguished shortly after, making 1629 one of the final years of independent Protestant minting in France.
