Commentary
Obole de la plus grande rareté absente du Boudeau et semblant inédite en raison de la présence d’un seul besant en cantonnement de la croix du droit.
An extremely rare obol, absent from the Boudeau and seemingly unpublished due to the presence of a single bezant in cantonment of the right cross

Historical background
LANGUEDOC - COUNTY OF SAINT-GILLES - ALPHONSE JOURDAIN
(1112-1148)
Alphonse Jourdain succeeded Bertrand as Count of Toulouse and was also Count of Saint-Gilles. Upon his death, Alfonso II was quickly replaced by Raymond V (1148-1194). Alphonse Jourdain, who was the son of Raymond IV of Saint-Gilles, wanted to reconquer the county of Tripoli from Guillaume II (1137-1152) his nephew, grandson of Bertrand, half-brother of Alphonse, but he died in 1148 in Caesarea of Lebanon during the second Crusade (1147-1149).
