| Additional information |
Thomas of Bourlémont served as Bishop of Toul from 1330 to 1353, and his episcopal sterlings belong to a period when the bishops of the Three Bishoprics — Toul, Metz, and Verdun — were aggressively asserting temporal coinage rights against both the French crown and the Holy Roman Empire. Toul sat at one of the most contested jurisdictional seams in medieval Europe, technically within imperial territory but increasingly drawn into French political orbit.
The Flon reference places this among a tight cluster of types attributable to the first half of Thomas's episcopate, distinguished by subtle die characteristics from his later issues.
