Définition

• A billon coin of the Vicomtes de Limoges and copied from the Barbarin (q.v.) of Saint Martial. It takes its name from Lemovicas, the medieval name of Limoges.

  Guido VI, Vicomte of Limoges (1230- 1263), substituted his own portrait on his coinage, but the pieces were rejected and the regular Bretagne type restored. See Blanchet, Nouveau manuel de numismatique. 1890. (i. 275).
