Commentary
Ce type monétaire, avec un besant en cantonnement de la croix du revers, est légèrement postérieur à celui du trésor de Fécamp (n° 6763-6765). Il s’agit d’un type immobilisé au nom de Louis IV d’Outremer. D’après Morisson et Grunthal, un seul autre exemplaire est connu, publié par Gariel au XIXe siècle et présentant une légende incomplète.
