| Additional information |
Charles V became Dauphin of France while still a prince, and the Dauphiné — technically a separate domain held by the heir apparent rather than the French crown — retained its own monetary authority even as Charles simultaneously ruled as king in Paris after 1364. This coin is a product of that constitutional oddity: issued under his name as king, but struck on the authority of the dauphiné title, not the French throne.
Duplessy féodales 2469 places this squarely within the reformed coinage Charles pursued after the monetary chaos of his father John II's reign, including the ransoms, debasements, and fiscal improvisations of the 1350s.
