This particular coin type was the first coinage of Charles in any of his vast possessions. It's relative chronology is confirmed by the continued use of the monogram of Fulk on the reverse, which had been used on Anjevin deniers since the reign of Fulk IV (1069-1129). In 1266, Angers began issuing a new type of denier with Charles' title as king of Sicily.
