| Aanvullende informatie |
Gaston X of Grailly, Count of Foix and Viscount of Béarn, operated one of the most financially assertive lordships in southern France — minting gold coinage at a weight well above the French royal écu to assert both parity with and independence from the Crown. Béarn's ancient custom of fiscal autonomy, rooted in the Fors de Béarn, gave the counts legal cover to maintain their own monetary system long after most French feudal mints had been absorbed or suppressed.
The absence of a Dy féodales reference number suggests this type remains unclassified or only tentatively attributed in Duplessy's corpus — a meaningful gap for a piece of this weight.
