Abstract
International audience The minting period for the feudal coinage of the earls of Nevers (France) spans a period of more than four centuries extending from 954 through 1355. The last synthesis for such coinage dates back to the end of the 19th century. This article follows up on a previous one by the same authors published in the Revue numismatique issue for 2017 which proposed for the immobilization period of this coinage a new catalog synthetizing the existing information, on the basis of both the numismatic data (types, metrology, hoards, written sources and elemental analysis) and the up to date historical information, aiming to a new chronological classification. The main purposes of the present article are to attempt to evaluate (i) the circulation and real importanceof this coinage during such immobilization period and (ii), taking into account the information contained in the first article, the monetary policy of the earls during such period. Additional articles are under preparation in order to propose the same type of work covering the nominative period of the coinage of the earls of Nevers from 1160 approximately through 1355.
