Le revers de cet exemplaire correspond au n° 237 repris par D. M. Metcalf dans le catalogue du musée d’Oxford, mais l’avers s’en distingue légèrement sans le grenetis perlé le long de la ligne de tête.
The reverse of this example corresponds to No. 237 taken by DM Metcalf in the Oxford Museum catalogue, but the obverse is slightly different without the pearled grenetis along the head line

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.
