Commentary
La variété dite VICO vient des ornements du carré perlé du revers ; les lettres V, I, C et O y sont interprétées. Il est à noter que cet exemplaire présente un annelet qui n’est pas pointé (en guise de O).
The so-called VICO variety comes from the ornaments of the pearl square on the reverse; the letters V, I, C and O are interpreted there. It should be noted that this example has an annulet which is not pointed (in place of an O)

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.
