Commentary

Avec ce visage, nous sommes en présence d’un denier qui se rapproche du n° 6926 du trésor de Fécamp (enfouissement vers 980) mais se retrouve aussi plus tôt dans le trésor du Loiret (vers 960).
With this face, we are in the presence of a denarius which is close to number 6926 of the Fécamp treasure (buried around 980) but is also found earlier in the Loiret treasure (around 960)
