| Additional information |
The Dauphiné retained its own distinct monetary administration long after its absorption into the French crown domain in 1349, a legacy of the semi-autonomous fiscal structures the French kings deliberately preserved in the region. Francis I's reform ordinances of the 1540s began standardizing provincial coinage more aggressively, making issues like this one transitional artifacts of that administrative pressure. The trilobe privy mark identifies the mint of Crémieu, one of the smaller Dauphiné installations.
Gad R1 rarity classification signals genuinely thin survival numbers — unsurprising for a low-value billon piece in active circulation through a mountainous province.
