| Additional information |
Edward III held Aquitaine as a vassal of the French crown — an arrangement that became increasingly untenable after Philip VI confiscated the duchy in 1337, effectively triggering the Hundred Years' War. These small billon issues were struck throughout the early decades of that conflict, circulating in a region that changed administrative hands repeatedly and where the practical demands of petty commerce could not wait for political resolution.
The Elias 110a reference places this among the earlier attributions in the series, though the absence of a Poey d'Avant number signals continued scholarly uncertainty about precise sequencing within the type.
