Nonetheless his coinage circulated alongside the Royal denier tournois and the baronial deniers tournois up to the late 1320s. Dumas dates this particular coinage with these privy marks between 1315 and 1322, on the strength of the presence of such coins in the tresor de Lere.</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular specimen has a little t-like marteau as a privy mark.
