Commentary
Ces sceattas avec un buste radié et un carré perlé au revers furent frappés entre 675 et 750. Cet exemplaire est assez tardif en raison de la tête dégénérée et des légendes du droit qui est composée de caractères runiques. Le revers est particulier car il présente dans le champ les lettres TTO et non pas TTOII.
These sceattas with a radiate bust and a pearl square on the reverse were struck between 675 and 750. This example is quite late due to the degenerate head and the legends on the obverse which are composed of runic characters. The reverse is unusual because it shows the letters TTO and not TTOII in the field.

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.
