Commentary

Ce denier sans nom de duc est particulier et absent des ouvrages de référence. La pointe de flèche est un différent qui se retrouve sur les monnaies royales de Nantes de Louis XII et de François Ier. Faut-il rattacher cette monnaie à la série royale ou à la série féodale, l’état d’usure de cette monnaie ne permet pas de le préciser.
This denier without a duke's name is unusual and absent from reference works. The arrowhead is a different feature found on the royal coins of Nantes of Louis XII and Francis I. Whether this coin should be attached to the royal series or the feudal series is not clear from the worn state of this coin.
