Commentary
Bien qu’un peu confus, ce sceat semble avoir la pseudo-légende CZW devant le visage, correspondant à la variété G4 (cf. fig. page 217 du catalogue d’Oxford). Certains y lisent aussi la légende XAZO.
Although somewhat confusing, this sceat appears to have the pseudo-legend CZW in front of the face, corresponding to the G4 variety (see fig. page 217 of the Oxford catalogue). Some also read the legend XAZO there.

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.
