定義

• A name applied to the De- nier struck at Provins, a mint of the Counts of Champagne, early in the twelfth century. See Blanchet (L 407). The earlier types bore poorly executed por- traits and under Thihaut IV (1201-1253) was issued the Nouveaux Provinois, which bore a peigne, i.e., a head surmounted by three towers and resembling a comb. This rude portraiture was due to the careless- ness of the engraver, though some writers claim that the hair was worn in this fashion in Champagne at this period.

  Du Cange refers to an ordinance of Philip IV of France dated 1301, in which Pruvinienses, evidently the same coins, are mentioned.
