Provence's gold florins of this period were struck to the Florentine florin standard, a deliberate alignment with Italian commercial networks rather than French royal coinage — the Angevin counts of Provence maintained closer mercantile ties to the Italian peninsula than to Paris. The attribution between Louis II and Louis III remains unresolved for most dies, as both rulers issued florins without regnal distinctions in the legends, leaving chronological separation largely to stylistic analysis and hoard evidence.
