Comments

This coinage is later than the acquisition by Hugues IV of the châtellenie of Auxonne (exchanged to Jean, count of Burgundy and lord of Salins, for a part of the seigneury of Salins). It probably began only around 1255. These coins are very similar to those of Dijon, whose legend begins with the same cross (Dumas-Dubourg 8-1-1).Automatically translated
