Commentary
Cet exemplaire correspond exactement au n° 83 du catalogue du Trésor de Nice-Cimiez et au n° 2641 du Belfort.
C’est le cinquième exemplaire que nous proposons. Il semble être frappé avec le même coin de droit que le bmv_223395 bmv_263008 (vendus 290 et 250€). L’état du coin de revers est différents mais tous ces exemplaire semblent sortir du même coin.

It appears to be struck with the same obverse die as bmv_223395 bmv_263008 (sold for €290 and €250). The condition of the reverse die is different, but all these copies appear to come from the same die.

Historical background
MEROVINGIAN COINAGE - MARSEILLE (MASSILIA)
(7th - 8th century)
Childeric II abolishes the minting of gold in Gaul in favor of silver coinage. The Marseilles mint struck silver coins after the assassination of Childeric II in 675 and probably until the beginning of the reign of Pepin the Short. The workshop had an important production of which the only treasure of Nice-Cimiez delivered a great variety of types. Five patricians succeeded one another at the head of the city, Ansedertus, Nemfidius, Antenor, Metranus and Abbo. In 736, Provence was attached to the kingdom of France and Charles Martel put an end to the patriciate. No copper production in Marseilles seems attested. For lack of text, the dates of these patrices are not known.
