Commentary
D’après J. R. de Mey, Jules de Médicis a ordonné à Johan de Coucils, prévôt général de la Monnaie d’Avignon, de frapper pour 2.000 marcs de billon et indique qu’un seul exemplaire avait été retrouvé. Muntoni n° 101, p. 156, décrit en effet un exemplaire unique, non illustré qui présenterait deux mouchetures d’hermine en cantonnement de la croix du revers, hors ce denier présente un groupe de deux clefs croisées et une moucheture d’hermine.
According to JR de Mey, Jules de Medici ordered Johan de Coucils, Provost General of the Avignon Mint, to strike 2,000 marks of billon coins and indicates that only one example had been found. Muntoni no. 101, p. 156, indeed describes a unique, unillustrated example that supposedly features two ermine spots flanking the cross on the reverse; however, this denier actually displays a group of two crossed keys and an ermine spot.

Historical background
PAPAL STATES – COMTAT VENAISSIN - CLEMENT VII (Giulio de Medicis)
(19/11/1523- 25/09/1534)
Posthumous and illegitimate son of Giuliano de Medici and his last mistress, Fioretta Gorini, Julius de Medici (1478-1534) is the nephew of Lorenzo the Magnificent, and therefore the cousin of Pope Leo X. He tries to counter the influence of Charles Quint. In 1527, Rome was sacked. He did nothing to counter ITALY - STATES OF THE CHURCH - CLEMENT VII (Julius de Medici)e protestaITALY - STATES OF THE CHURCH - CLEMENT VII (Julius de Medici) nascentism and failed to reconcile with Henry VIII of England breaking with Catholicism. However, he turns out to be a great patron like his uncle Leo X.
