Commentary

Ce genre de monnaie est très difficile à classer précisément. Copiant des monnaies impériales, ces triens sont mal localisés et mal datés ; l’ensemble est très arbitraire, en fonction du style. Globalement attribués au royaume franc de Bourgogne, ces monnaies ont été étudiées par G. Ponton d’Amécourt qui a qualifié ce type “à la boucle perdue”, en référence à la couronne en forme de boucle au droit et celle du revers tenue par la victoire.

Generally attributed to the Frankish kingdom of Burgundy, these coins were studied by G. Ponton d'Amécourt who called this type “with the lost buckle”, in reference to the crown in the shape of a buckle on the obverse and that on the reverse held by the victory
