Commentary

Cette légende LVG assure l’attribution à Lyon. Les deniers épiscopaux de Lyon sont relativement rares, mais très variés. Jean Lafaurie attribue ces deniers à l’évêque Godinus (vers 688-701) en raison du G rétrograde rattaché à l’un des bras de la croix du revers.
This LVG legend ensures the attribution to Lyon. Episcopal deniers from Lyon are relatively rare, but very varied. Jean Lafaurie attributes these deniers to Bishop Godinus (circa 688-701) because of the retrograde G attached to one of the arms of the cross on the reverse.
