Commentary
Avec le cordon perlé doublant le croissant central associé à ce revers, cette monnaie manque tant aux collection d’Oxford qu’à l’ouvrage de T. Abramson.
Il s’agit probablement d’un hybride, associant un avers comparable au n° 237 d’Oxford à un revers aux quatre segments comme sur le n° 230 d’Oxford.
With the beaded cord doubling the central crescent associated with this reverse, this coin is missing from both the Oxford collection and T. Abramson's work. It is likely a hybrid, combining an obverse similar to Oxford No. 237 with a reverse with four segments like Oxford No. 230

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.
