Their money was current in the dioceses of Cahors, Limoges, and Perigueux.
In 1263 the V. did homage to Henry II. of England for his

Turin, the possible place of coinage of the small bracteates of Lombard
fabric discovered in the vicinity, with coins of Charlemagne and
Desiderius. A mint of some of the rulers of Savoy. There are coins of
Filippo (1297-1334) and of Ludovico, Prince of Achaia (1402-18
: Torim>s
Cn'fs), as well as of the Piedmontese Republic, 1798-99 of a
; gold
2o-franc piece struck by Bonaparte in commemoration of the Battle of
Marengo, I4th June 1800, with IJItalic dclivrcc a Marengo ; of a 5-franc
piece of Napoldon, 1811 ;
and of the more recent sovereigns of Sardinia
and Italy.
Turr, an early Russian mint.
Udinc, a mint of the patriarchs of Aquileia, I4th c.
Ulm, or Uberlingcn, Bavaria, a royal and imperial mint from a very
early date ;
but it does not appear to have produced anything but hellers
and schillings till 1546, when we find a dated thaler. In 1552 Charles V.
conceded the right to coin gold and silver. The ancient hellers bear
thaler in
a V. During the Thirty Years' War Ulm issued a regiments
1622, and during a siege by the Imperialists in 1704 a florin and a piece
of 21 florins in gold and a gulden in silver. The mint is said to have
been closed in 1773, of which date there is a kreutzer of thick fabric.
Comp. Kcmptcn.
Unna, Prussia, circle of Hamm, a mint of the Counts de la Mark.
Vnncus or Vnnts.
Urbano, in the Bolognese territory, the source of a siege-piece in lead
of papal type, with F[orte] V[rbano], struck during a blockade by the
Imperialists about 1706.
Urbino, an imperial mint under the house of Hohenstaufen, and at a
later period of the independent Dukes of Urbino, of the Montefeltro,
Delia Rovere, and Medici families. See a note in Cat. Rossi, No. 3193, as
to the doubtless improper ascription of a quattrino of Julius II. with the
Delia Rovere arms to this place. The celebrated Lorenzo de' Medici, called
the Magnificent, was Duke of Urbino from 1516 to 1519. Armand mentions
Paolo di Ragusa, Clemente di Urbino, and Francesco Martini as
artists at U. about this date. It is believed that the coins of the I5th
and 1 6th c., bearing the names of Castel Durante and Fossombrone,
were really struck at Urbino itself. Clement XL, 1700-21, struck a mezzo
scudo here in 1707.
Uri, the place of a local coinage of uncertain antiquity the first
;
concession was in 1424. There was a convention between U., Schwyz,
and Unterwalden in the i6th c. ;
but coins with the separate marks of
Uri and Unterwalden are also found for that period. Gold pistoles of
the St. Martin type were struck here. See one figured in Cat. Robert,
1886, No. 2174. Vranie.
Utrecht, a mint of the Merovingian era, of the ancient Bishops of the
