Commentary
Si le revers est typique des sceattas, le droit est parfois mis en relation avec des monnaies gauloises comme les deniers de Boudicca ou encore au droit de certains bronzes Carnutes à l'aigle.
If the reverse is typical of sceattas, the obverse is sometimes linked to Gallic coins such as the denarii of Boudicca or even to the obverse of certain Carnutes bronzes with eagles

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.
