Commentary
Ce type monétaire, avec un lis dans le premier canton et un annelet en début de légende du revers, correspond au piéfort illustré dans l’ouvrage de Poey d’Avant (n° 1541, pl. XXIX, n° 9). Le denier correspondant à ce piéfort n’avait pas encore été retrouvé. Nous connaissons toutefois deux autres exemplaires figurant dans des collections privés et non publiés à ce jour. Ce denier appartient très certainement à la dernière émission féodale angevine.
Historical background
COUNTY OF ANJOU - CHARLES OF VALOIS
(1290-1319)
Charles de Valois is the third son of Philippe III and was born in 1270. His father gave him the prerogative of the county of Valois and he married, in 1290, Marguerite, daughter of Charles II, count of Anjou and king of Naples; this one brought in dowry the counties of Anjou and Maine. Charles de Valois also received from Philippe le Bel the counties of Alençon and Perche. He died at Nogent-le-Roi in 1325. His son, Philippe, the first king of the Valois dynasty, ascended the throne of France under the name of Philippe VI and, in 1328, united Anjou to the crown..
