Commentary
Ce type de sceat est parmi les plus rares. Le carré creux est traditionnellement au revers, mais avec cet exemplaire nous aurions deux revers ; la croix étant elle aussi traditionnellement au revers. Le carré perlé est plutôt considéré comme le droit dans les ouvrages de classement.
This type of sceat is among the rarest. The hollow square is traditionally on the reverse, but with this example we would have two reverses; the cross is also traditionally on the reverse. The pearl square is rather considered as the right in classification works.

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.
