Comments

Engrognes (or ansernes) were the coins of the Dukes of Burgundy, three of which were needed to make five deniers tournois. Several spellings exist: angrogne, engrogne or engroigne.
"Although we see engrognes mentioned quite frequently under the reign of Philippe (le Bon), and even after him, we find almost no coins bearing this denomination in their legends. I have already suggested that the word "anserna", which appears on several coins from Auxonne and Saint-Laurent, is a translation of engrogne".
