Commentary
Cet exemplaire avec une belle lettre A à six heures, est issu du même coin de revers que le n° 184 d’Oxford, qui provient trésor de Aston Rowant (lot 1991 Bt. Sotheby, 17 juillet 1986), 1,21 g., 87% d’argent.
Mais le droit diffère, avec un petit annelet non pointé alors que le n° 184 a un annelet plein.

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.
