| Additional information |
This issue belongs to a specific monetary arrangement made for Languedoc during the early reign of John II — a region that maintained distinct fiscal and administrative privileges long after its incorporation into the French crown. The Languedoc estates negotiated their own taxation and, at times, their own coinage terms. That the gros tournois was still being struck in this form through the early 1360s reflects the monetary chaos following Poitiers in 1356, when John's capture by the English destabilized royal finance and forced regional accommodations.
The fineness of .858 places this slightly below earlier Capetian tournois standards — a quiet but telling concession to fiscal pressure.
