| Additional information |
The Barony of Franquemont was a small feudal lordship in the Franche-Comté, whose coinage rights survived well into the sixteenth century largely because the region's complex overlapping jurisdictions — caught between the Habsburgs and the French crown — made it politically inconvenient for any single authority to extinguish them. Nicolas Gilley held the barony during a period when such petty seigneurial issues were already anachronistic, pressed out in tiny quantities that rarely traveled far from the locality.
The HMZ reference places this among a very small group of confirmed varieties for the type.
