Silver Denier of Guillaume V de Sabran, Count of Forcalquier, feudal coinage struck in Pertuis (Provence), circa 1209–1220.

This denier was minted under Guillaume V de Sabran, Count of Forcalquier by marriage. A pivotal figure in Provençal history, Guillaume V was the last to govern the County of Forcalquier as an autonomous entity before its definitive union with the County of Provence. His strategic alliances, notably through the marriage of his daughter Garsende to Alphonse II of Provence, played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of southern France in the early 13th century.
