Avignon, France

(en)

After the Carolingian coins of the 8th century, it was the counts of Provence who minted coins in Avignon. In 1354, Innocent VI transferred the pontifical mint from Pont-sur-Sorgue to Avignon. The number of workers decreased after the departure of the popes in 1404. The legates, then the vice-legates, in the name of the sovereign pontiff, exercised control over the minting of coins until 1693.
