Commentary
On note une confusion chez Thomas Bernard sur la numérotation de ce Dagobert.
Dagobert III est le roi des Francs de 711 à 715.
Né vers 699, fils et successeur du roi Childebert IV, il accède au trône à l'âge de 12 ans, et meurt à 16 ans. Comme il est mineur pendant toute la durée de son règne, ses maires du Palais règnent en son nom. À son avènement, le maire du palais en Austrasie est le puissant Pépin de Herstal. En Neustrie le maire du palais est Grimoald le Jeune, fils cadet de Pépin de Herstal. Pendant son règne, Grimoald est assassiné par un rebelle Frison. Il est remplacé par son fils mineur, le jeune Thibaut. Puis le vieux Pépin de Herstal décède. Plectrude, sa veuve, dirige le royaume au nom du roi Dagobert et du maire du palais Thibaut, tous deux mineurs. Les Francs de Neustrie en profitent pour se révolter. Ils rassemblent une armée dans la forêt de Cuise, et écrasent l'armée austrasienne de Thibaut. La Neustrie reprend alors son indépendance et nomme un nouveau maire du palais en la personne de Raganfred. Celui-ci s'allie avec le duc des Frisons Radbold, et dévaste l'Austrasie. Dagobert meurt en 715.

There is confusion among Thomas Bernard regarding the numbering of this Dagobert..
Dagobert III was king of the Franks from 711 to 715.
Born around 699, son and successor of King Childebert IV, he acceded to the throne at the age of 12, and died at 16. As he is a minor for the duration of his reign, his Mayors of the Palace rule in his name. At his accession, the mayor of the palace in Austrasia was the powerful Pepin of Herstal. In Neustria the mayor of the palace is Grimoald the Younger, younger son of Pepin of Herstal. During his reign, Grimoald was assassinated by a Frisian rebel. He is replaced by his minor son, young Thibaut. Then old Pepin of Herstal dies. Plectrude, his widow, rules the kingdom in the name of King Dagobert and the mayor of the palace Thibaut, both minors.. The Franks of Neustria took advantage of this to revolt. They gathered an army in the forest of Cuise, and crushed the Austrasian army of Thibaut. Neustria then regained its independence and appointed a new mayor of the palace in the person of Raganfred. He allied himself with the Duke of Fries, Radbold, and devastated Austrasia.. Dagobert died in 715.

Historical background
METALLIC SERIES OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE
This series was engraved by Thomas Bernard and is interrupted, for this author, with the token of Louis XIV. The following tokens are engraved by Nicolas Gatteaux for Louis XV, Duvivier for Louis XVI, Puymaurin and Gayrard for Louis XVII, Puymaurin and Depaulis for Louis XVIII. The series is often attributed to Jean Dassier on the faith of Forrer but he corrects his assertion in his volume VIII and confirms the archives of the Monnaie de Paris which specify that the series was commissioned by Monsieur de Launay. There are different issues, in copper or brass, of varying weights but consistent by series, the reverse dies are sometimes varied. The classification of kings is done according to ancient usage, in three successive races. We note the existence of a very rare token explaining the abbreviations that we have only seen in a brass series. The packaging of this series was in a wooden tube. It is of course very difficult to reconstruct it and it should be noted that the different tokens have very different rarities, having probably been bought piecemeal by the public, favoring the good kings. There is at least one series in silver, possibly apocryphal, completed up to Napoleon III with tokens for all successive regimes, including the Revolution and Napoleon I, see MONNAIES 28, n° 1395. This series is documented in a small book by Philippe Marinèche from whoever can acquire it, contact phmarineche@aol. com.
