Commentary
Ce type reprend la même typologie de droit que le “Sceat aux têtes affrontées et aux 4 oiseaux, Série J, type 37”, mais associée à un revers à l’oiseau non retourné.
Ce type semble très rare ; il manque aux collections publiées de Cambridge et d’Oxford. Il n’est repris que sous forme de note par D. M. Metcalf dans la partie consacrée aux monnaies avec ce type de droit (cf. Vol. III, pages 357 - X).
Cette variété bien particulière associe le droit typique des types 37 et 72 (avec les deux têtes face à face avec la croix entre les deux) et un revers à l’oiseau proche du type 72, mais sans que l’oiseau retourne la tête.
La seule mention retrouvée de cette variété est dans l’ouvrage de T. Abramson, ex. J350, provenant du Nord-Ouest de la France !.
This type uses the same obverse typology as the “Sceat with confronting heads and 4 birds, Series J, type 37”, but associated with a reverse with the bird not turned over. This type seems very rare; it is missing from the published collections of Cambridge and Oxford. It is only included in the form of a note by DM Metcalf in the section devoted to coins with this type of obverse (see Vol. III, pages 357 - X). This very particular variety combines the obverse typical of types 37 and 72 (with the two heads facing each other with the cross between the two) and a reverse with the bird close to type 72, but without the bird turning its head. The only mention found of this variety is in the work of T. Abramson, ex. J350, from the North-West of France!

Historical background
ENGLAND - ANGLO-SAXONS
(7th - 8th centuries)
If the minting of these coins is to be located at the beginning of the 8th century, in Great Britain, it is not exceptional to find them in Gaul. They are often confused with Merovingian silver coins (cf. MONNAIES XIX, n° 503, sceattas c. 680-710, classified in Merovingian denier of Laon). During the 8th century, the style of these pieces is more and more degenerated, they are often in ridge or filled. These coins disappeared from circulation in the second half of the 8th century.
