Groschen - Louis I

Louis de Bar held the see of Verdun from 1419 until his death in 1430, a tenure complicated by his simultaneous role as Duke of Bar and his entanglement in the factional chaos of the Hundred Years' War. The Bishopric's coinage during this window reflects a diocese caught between competing French royal and Burgundian pressures, issuing its own silver in a region where monetary authority was perpetually contested by secular and ecclesiastical rivals alike.

Flon's attribution to this type remains the anchor reference; Rob Verdun #112 confirms the classification without significant die variety divergence noted in the literature.
