| Additional information |
The Barony of Vaud passed to the House of Savoy in 1359, making Ludwig II — who died in 1349 — the last of the independent Vaudois lords to issue coinage in his own name. The vienneoise type takes its name from Vienne, the Dauphiné city whose monetary standards dominated regional silver coinage across the western Alpine arc throughout the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
