Obol with mitre

正面描述	Central field features a stylized episcopal mitre in relief, rendered in a schematic Romanesque manner typical of 12th-century Provençal coinage. The mitre is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a twisted rope or cable border. The surrounding legend REX ARAGONE, reading clockwise, identifies the issuing authority as the King of Aragon, whose suzerainty over Provence is thus proclaimed. The overall composition is characteristic of the hammered small silver denominations of the period, with the design elements occupying the full available flan.

附加信息	Raymond V of Toulouse held overlapping and contested authority in Provence during this period, and the county's coinage reflects that instability — small fractional silver pieces circulating in a region where comital control was perpetually challenged by the neighboring County of Forcalquier and the encroaching ambitions of the Crown of Aragon. The mitre type is associated with the episcopal influence embedded in Provençal monetary rights, where bishops and secular lords frequently shared — and disputed — minting privileges. Rolland's classification remains the standard reference, though die varieties within this type are not fully catalogued.
