Comment

The coinage of Roquefeuil is known only by a few rare deniers and oboles. This coinage is not listed in the Boudeau. Roquefeuil coins were minted by Raymond d'Anduze, who inherited the seigneury of Roquefeuil from his mother.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Le monnayage de Roquefeuil n’est connu que par quelques rarissimes deniers et oboles. Cette monnaie n’est pas cotée dans le Boudeau. Les monnaies de Roquefeuil ont été frappées par Raymond d’Anduze, qui récupéra la seigneurie de Roquefeuil, par sa mère.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Raymond of Anduze, who was a powerful lord in the south of France during the 12th century. The coin features an image of Raymond on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing his authority and religious devotion. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, billon, the coin was widely used in the region and remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
