Additional information

Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, a minor Provençal bishopric in the Drôme, struck its own billon coinage during the 13th century under episcopal authority — a privilege that was increasingly contested as Capetian influence pressed southward following the Albigensian Crusade. The anonymous attribution reflects the absence of a bishop's name on the type, which complicates precise dating within the quarter-century range. The Chareyron reference situates this within a local corpus that remains thinly documented outside specialist French regional numismatics.
