After the kings of France Charles VI (1368-1422) and Charles VII (1403-1461) introduced these coins in 1421, modelled on the Neapolitan Salut d'Or of Charles I of Anjou (1227-1285), King Henry V of England (1386-1422) and then his son Henry VI in turn adopted this popular coinage, minting it in their continental workshops located in present-day France.
