Commentary

Ce type monétaire, avec un I dans le champ du droit pourrait être attribué à Ithier (962-985). Ce type de denier semble toutefois un peu léger pour la fin du Xe siècle. Poey d’Avant signale un rare denier au même type, mais avec le I cantonné de deux besants.
This type of coin, with an I in the obverse, could be attributed to Ithier (962-985). This type of denier, however, seems a little light for the end of the 10th century. Poey d'Avant reports a rare denier of the same type, but with the I confined by two bezants.
