Commentary
Cet objet semble être le résultat de la transformation d’un triens, peut-être monté en chaton de bague. Le revers a pu être choisi en raison de la croix en tant que symbole chrétien (?).
Le type précis de la monnaie d’origine ne peut plus être déterminé, mais le poids obtenu correspond à moins de 50% du poids initial..

The precise type of the original coin can no longer be determined, but the resulting weight corresponds to less than 50% of the original weight.

Historical background
CHALON-SUR-SAÔNE (CABILONNUM) - Saône-et-Loire
(7th century)
The Burgundian kingdom was annexed to the Frankish kingdom after the victory of Autun in 534. Burgundy has an independent monarch until 613 at the death of Thierry II. After the assassination of Sigebert II in 613 by Clotaire II, Burgundy was incorporated into the kingdom of Neustria. Saint-Léger, bishop of Autun (616-678), was mayor of the Palace. The royal government is ensured by the palace which is more an institution than a place. There are three capitals: Paris (Neustria), Metz (Austrasia) and Chalon-sur-Saône (Burgundy). There is still a palace that continues to function after Clotaire II restored unity. The palace is a symbol of the autonomy of the kingdom. Clotaire II governs from Paris but there is still a palace in Metz and Chalon. The gold coinage of Chalon-sur-Saône was certainly the most abundant of the Merovingian period..
