| Additional information |
The early Bourbon obols are among the thinnest and most fragile survivors of medieval French feudal coinage — at under half a gram in billon, attrition rates were brutal, and most circulated to illegibility. The Lordship of Bourbon at this date was still a minor vassal entity, not yet elevated to the county it would become in 1327, and its monetary output was correspondingly modest in volume and ambition.
