Commentary
Cette série de triens pour le monétaire Patronus est assez bien connue avec bon nombre de variantes. Si le droit est assez homogène, les revers varient selon la présence ou non de l’oméga renversé surmontant la croix et selon le motif qui orne la base de la croix. Cet exemplaire a une croix comparable aux B. 104-107, surmonté d’aucun point comme le B. 107, mais avec une base un peu différente présentant comme une petite croisette.
Ce même type de tête est aussi attesté sur des triens de Veuves (Loir-et-Cher, cf. MEC 482 - FRANC.OBODO M) ; il est probable que ces triens soient le travail d’un même graveur itinérant qui aurait travaillé pour plusieurs ateliers.
Un exemplaire assez proche, de mêmes coins que le Belfort 105, a été vendu par P. Crinon à 2500€. Cette monnaie est ensuite repassée en vente à plusieurs reprises chez ELSEN.
This series of trien for the Patronus coin is quite well known with a good number of variants. If the obverse is quite homogeneous, the reverses vary according to the presence or absence of the inverted omega surmounting the cross and according to the motif which decorates the base of the cross. This example has a cross comparable to B. 104-107, surmounted by no point like B. 107, but with a slightly different base presenting a sort of small cross. This same type of head is also attested on trien from Widows (Loir-et-Cher, cf. MEC 482 - FRANC.OBODO M); it is likely that these trien are the work of the same itinerant engraver who would have worked for several workshops. A fairly similar example, with the same dies as Belfort 105, was sold by P. Crinon for €2,500. This coin was then put up for sale several times at ELSEN

Historical background
AMBACIA VICVS - AMBOISE (Loir-et-Cher)
(7th-8th century)
Amboise (etymologically "between two waters", the Loire and the Amasse) is a city of Indre-et-Loire located on the banks of the Loire, in the district of Tours and the Center region. For some, Amboise may have been the initial religious and commercial center of the Turones tribe. At the beginning of the 6th century, permanent rivalries, both territorial and religious, opposed the Salian Franks, Catholics, led by Clovis, who occupied the north of Gaul, and the Visigoths, Arians, led by Alaric II, who occupied the South West. In an attempt to put an end to it, the king of the Ostrogoths, Theodoric the Great, wrote letters to the two protagonists to convince them to find an agreement.. This approach resulted in 504 in a meeting between the two kings which took place on the Golden Island of Amboise (currently Ile Saint Jean). The two rivals promised each other an eternal alliance which remained a dead letter, since the dispute was only settled by the death of Alaric II at the battle of Vouillé in 507. In 546 the lord of Amboise was Saint Baud bishop of Tours, without knowing exactly the nature of his dependency on King Clotaire I.. Then there is no more historical information until the middle of the 9th century.. Source: wikipedia. .
