Commentary
Cette monnaie figure parmi les monnaies les plus rares du monnayage féodal français et est absente du Boudeau. Un premier exemplaire découvert à Paladru a été acquis en 1846 par le Cabinet des médailles de Grenoble a été publié Gustave Vallier en 1875 et est reprise dans l’ouvrage d’Émile Caron en 1882. Les émissions de Mende sont également attestées par des sources archivistiques. En 1263, elles sont décriées, mais une nouvelle autorisation de frappe fut délivrée le 9 février 1266 et leur cours est confirmé dans un document du 8 novembre 1272.
