Commentary
Si la frappe de ces monnaies est à situer au début du VIIIe siècle, en Grande Bretagne, il n’est pas exceptionnel de les retrouver en Gaule. Elles y sont souvent confondues avec les monnaies mérovingiennes en argent.
Although these coins were minted in Britain at the beginning of the 8th century, it is not unusual to find them in Gaul. There, they are often confused with Merovingian silver coins.

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.
