Comments

Hugues Capet struck denarii and obols in Beauvais jointly with Bishop Hervé (around 985-998). After a long period of unemployment, the Beauvais workshop struck coins again under the episcopate of Henry of France (1149-1162). The minting continued under Bishop Barthélemy de Montcornet (1162-1175) and finally under the episcopate of Philippe I de Dreux (1175-1217).Automatically translated
