Commentary
D’un style très particulier, ce sceat semble être une mule, associant un avers dit au porc-épic à un revers commun aux séries A et C mais aussi ou groupe VERNVS ou à certaines monnaies de la série E. Si le revers est commun, aucune monnaie d’Oxford, de Cambridge ni même publiée par T. Abramson ne présente un tel avers. Seul le revers du n° 263 d’Oxford se rapproche de notre avers (inversion A/ et R/ ?) !.
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.
