competitor in 1341 for the duchy of Brittany by reason of his
with the niece of Duke John III.
marriage
Tresana, a place to which are referred certain coins in silver and
bronze of the Malaspina family, i6th c. But the appropriation seems
doubtful. Perhaps a place of coinage of the Lombard kings.
Treves, or Trier, a mint of the Kings of Austrasia, 7th-8th c. (7V.),
and the seat of an ecclesiastical and imperial coinage from the loth c., if
not earlier. See Cat. Robert, 1886, Nos. 1863-64.
Treviso, a mint of Charlemagne, of some of the later emperors, of the
Count of Goritz, and of Venice. The reverse of a danaro of Charlemagne
reads Tarvis. The Count of Goritz (1319-23) struck the aquilino and
picciolo, which have Comes Gone., or Comes Gor., and on rev. Tarvisiu,
or Tarvisivm.
Trevoux, Les Dombes, Burgundy, originally a chateau which developed
into a town, a mint of the Sires de Thoire and Villars in the I2th
c., and subsequently of the Dukes and Sires de Bourbon and Bourbon-
Montpensier. Les Dombes or Dombes was united to the Crown in
1527 but the
; coinage was resumed, and continued till the closing years
of the 1
7th c. the latest ; piece which we have seen is one of 4 sols of
Anne Marie Louise d'Orleans, 1665. The Due de Maine, the last
beneficiary of the mint, renounced it under unsatisfactory circumstances,
in having fabricated money in imitation of regal types of a lower standard
to enhance the commercial advantage. At an earlier stage the coins of
Dombes, of which there is an extensive and important series in gold,
silver, and billon including a gold piece of Jean II., 1459-75, weighing
six times as much as an ordinary teston, and probably a piece de plaisir
had attained great celebrity and were copied in many directions, even in
Italy ; the \ dcu or piece of 5 sols, with the youthful portrait of Marie de
Montpensier, is said to have been greatly used in foreign commerce, and
to have been long at a premium in Turkey as a bijou or jewel, which they
termed a timmin. There is a curious contrefaqon of a Venetian ducat
struck here about 1620, which is said to have evoked a remonstrance
from the Doge an involuntary tribute to the reputation of the mint.
Trevo.
Trient, a seat of episcopal coinage from the I3th (perhaps i2th) to
the 1 6th c. The most important piece in this series is a munt-medaille
of Bernardt Clees, Bishop from 1524 to 1539. Rossi Cat, 1880, No. 4899.
The mint closed in 1776. There is a proof in silver of the last gold sequin
struck there.
Trieste, an episcopal mint,
1 2th- 1
4th c. The bishops also struck
money in the I3th c. at the Castle of Pastorium. Cat. Rossi, 1880, No.
495, places under this head a piece belonging to Trient.
Troyes, in Champagne, a mint of the Counts of Champagne. A
denier of Henry II., Count from 1 180 to 1
197, belongs here. Also of the
League, 1586, Louis XIV. and XV. A \ louis of the former, 1694, and a
hard of the latter, were struck at T. Trecasi Civi.

Tiingen or Thiengen, duchy of Baden, formerly in the landgraviat
of Kletgau or Kleggau, a fief successively of the Sees of St. Blasien and
Constanz, and of the Barons von Kreukingen, and perhaps a mint of all
these lords, but at present known only as the place of coinage of certain
