Commentary
Le denier B. 3750 (de la collection d’Amécourt) est classé en denier anonyme de Redonis, Rennes en Ile-et-Vilaine ; cette attribution fantaisiste n’est absolument pas justifiée. Cet exemplaire y est décrit comme ayant un personnage entre deux monogrammes au droit (?). Notre monnaie, proche ou identique du B. 5780, tient plutôt une longue croix de chaque main.
D. M. Metcalf précise au sujet des monnaies de cette série W qu’un corpus a été publié, avec illustrations, par Blackburn and Bonser, dans “Sceattas in England and on the Continent”, p. 235.
The denier B. 3750 (from the Amécourt collection) is classified as an anonymous denier of Redonis, Rennes in Ile-et-Vilaine; this fanciful attribution is absolutely not justified. This example is described as having a character between two monograms on the obverse (?). Our coin, close to or identical to B. 5780, rather holds a long cross in each hand. DM Metcalf specifies about the coins of this series W that a corpus was published, with illustrations, by Blackburn and Bonser, in “Sceattas in England and on the Continent”, p. 235

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.
