The logical order of metals is respected with copper (from Henri III), Billon, Silver and Gold. The types are illustrated at their full size with each time the technical characteristics: metal and title in thousandths / The official weight / the diameter The index of rarity is indicated in the type, of "C" to "R5" , passing through R (= R1), R2, R3, R4. Generally, an R5 rarity index indicates a currency seen at 1 or 2 copies, R4 for 3 to 5 copies, etc. Until C for a common currency. Only currencies are listed of which we have confirmation of existence and considering an exercise, at least, on sale. The dash "-" indicates an absence of rating, for lack of sufficient elements to do so: number of R5 currencies are for example known to a single copy
