Bayonne, a place where, in 1377, an ordinance of Edward III. accorded
to John of Gaunt the right of striking money in all metals, provided that
it was distinguished from that of England and Aquitaine. No specimens

was struck here.

the 1
3th to the end of the I5th c., and an unauthorised place of coinage
during the war and disorder of the League, 1586. The Seigneur de

blanques = 24 deniers), to pay the troops of the insurgents, at Villeneuve

coinage of the Counts of Anjou, loth-nth c.
Beaumont, Hainault, a seigniorial mint of Baudouin d'Avesnes, I3th c.,
where were struck gros au cavalier or rijder-grooten with B. LfAvenis
Dns. Bellimontis. See Cat. Robert, 1886, No. 259, where an inedited

bishops, who from the beginning of the nth c.

was part of his domain. A denier and obole of nerve", Bishop of Ponthieu,

that he had a mint, and counterfeited the regal types during four years.

sows courant.
Belgiojoso, Lombardy, probably the place of origin of a scudo of

has the appearance of an Italian origin.
