We reproduce below the comment of our colleagues of the House Palombo, sale 5, June 7, 2008, n° 134: "Philippe le Bon further to the treaty of Arras, and by obligation, gives lease of two years, with Pierre Fromont, Hacquinet de Mortaigne and Gobert, February 11, 1437 to strike coins in the name of Charles VII, in the workshops of Amiens and Saint Quentin. Philip the Good instructed these workshops not to mint coins at the same time, so that the mintages in the name of Charles VII would be as small as possible. However, he continued to mint coins in his own name in his workshops in the Netherlands. When the lease expired, the Amiens workshop was entrusted to Georges de Caboistre until 27 April 1442, while the Saint Quentin workshop ceased all activity on 24 January 1439. Extremely rare".
