other of 1511 slightly varied. The Abbey of Beda Angherrn, in this
canton, also struck money. We have met with the thaler, \ thaler, and

was
Saint -Gery, near Cambrai, the seat of an ancient abbatial mint,
eventually incorporated with that of C. It possibly existed in the time
of Charles le Chauve (840-75), and in 934 the Count of Cambrai enjoyed
the revenues of the abbey and a moiety of those of the castle. The pretensions
of the Count were set aside in 947. None of the coinage of
Saint-Gery seems to be known.
Saint-Gilles, Toulouse, one of the mints of the early independent
Counts of T., at least from the nth c. A denier of Alfonso, 1112-14,
reads Anfos. Conies., and Onor. Sci. Egidi. Others, which may have
been struck here, at Toulouse itself, or at Pont-de-Sorgues, have Comes
Tolosc., and Marti Puincie. The product was known as the monnaie
egidienne, and included the type of the paschal lamb, which is found in
the arms of Toulouse, and in weights of that city of the I5th-i6th c.
The Marechal de Joyeuse struck money here in the time of the League
(1586).
Saint-Jean d1Angcly (Angeliacus), near Cluny, an early mint, incorporated
in the ith i c. (1030-9), by the widow of Guillaume le Grand, Duke
of Aquitaine, with Cluny.
Saint-Jitlien and Salics, two chateaux of Matthieu de Foix, Comte de
Comminges and (by marriage) Vicomte de Beam, where in 1421-22 he
struck without authority certain money, which was suppressed in 1425 by
order of the King.
Saint-Laurent-les-Chalon, a mint of the Dukes of Burgundy, i5th c.
Ancerna, or Angrognia de. S. Laurend.
Saint- Lo, La Manche, near Coutances, a French mint under the Merovingian
dynasty and during the reign of Philip le Hardi (1270-85), and
occasionally at a later period coins with the distinctive mark C occur.
Henry V. of England struck money here in 1420. A franc d'argent and
other issues of Henry IV. of France, 1608, belong to this place.
Saint-Martial, an ancient abbey in or near Limoges, and the seat of
an independent coinage from the nth c. down to 1315, when the sole
right was vested in the Vicomtes de Limoges. In 1307 we find Jean III.,
V. de L., doing homage to the Abbot for the chateau, the chatellenie, and
the mint. See Barbarin and Lemona in Cat. of Denom.
Saint-Maurice d^Agaune, Valais, a mint of the Counts of Savoy I3th
c., and of the Seigneurs of Bargen, Sogern, and Nellenburg. The firstnamed
acquired the imperial authority to strike here. The early Savoyard
and other pieces bear an image of the local saint. A piece called moneta
maurisiensis is
supposed to belong to this place. See Blanchet,

Saint-Medard de Soissons. See Soissons.
Saint-Mihicl, or St. Michael, duchy of Bar, diocese of Verdun, a mint
of the abbots and of the ancient Counts and Dukes of Bar at least from
the date of a charter granted by Richet, Bishop of Verdun, to the Abbot
Uldaric in 1099, and renewed by a successor, with leave to coin in the
