Coins from the County of Forcalquier

Count William II obtains from Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa to immediately depend on the Empire. The regional economy depended at that time on the circulation of foreign coins, each sovereign decided, in order to assert his authority, to mint their own coinage. Thus William II and William III minted, from 1150 to 1220, undoubtedly in Forcalquier itself, silver deniers called guillermins. Charles I of Anjou, brother of the King of France Saint Louis and Count of Provence, continued for some time in his name the issue of the Guillermin denier; then coin production was centralized in the south and west of the county and Forcalquier permanently lost his mint.
