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.

Historical background
FRANKISH KINGDOM OF BURGUNDY, BURGUNDIANS
(end of sixth century)
According to J. Lafaurie in the catalog of the museum of Lyon, during this still poorly defined period 550/575, very large quantities of triens were struck, the types of which are derived from the coins struck in Italy by the Byzantines in Ravenna, taken from the Ostrogoths in May 540. The strikes are initially quite close to their prototypes: on the right, diademed bust on the right, the diadem closed behind the head by a two-pendant knot, dressed in a chlamys, in a fairly realistic style; on the reverse, Victoire going to the obverse, the bust facing and the head turned towards the left. She holds in her right hand a crown with two pendants, in her left hand a cruciger globe.
