Comment
"The coins with the legend + PHILIPVS REX (with a single P) are all from Philip III, but if those with + PHILIPPVS REX with two P are given to Philip IV, it is clear that the change in the spelling of the royal name did not coincide with the change of king. The study of the Belgian treasure of Grand-Halleux, buried between 1280 and 1282 and which contained 3 deniers tournois with + PHILIPVS REX and 9 with + PHILIPPVS REX proves that this change took place around 1280 or a little earlier. M. J. DUPLESSY (extract from "les monnaies françaises royales" tome I 1988)
