Commentary


Si l’attribution du droit à la cité messine ne laisse planer aucun doute, l’association à ce type de revers avec un portrait et une légende indéterminée est plus exceptionnelle. Ce triens est un intéressant témoignage du processus de production monétaire à l’époque mérovingienne ; deux coins de droit, vraisemblablement de deux ateliers différents, furent associés lors de la frappe de cette monnaie. Le Belfort ne recense aucune légende commençant par ACOVIC.
While the attribution of the right to the city of Metz leaves no doubt, the association of this type of reverse with a portrait and an indeterminate legend is more exceptional. This triens is an interesting testimony to the process of monetary production in the Merovingian period; two obverse dies, probably from two different workshops, were associated during the minting of this coin. The Belfort does not record any legend beginning with ACOVIC

Historical background


PAGUS MOSELLENSIS - METTIS - METZ (Moselle)

(7th-8th centuries)

The coinage of Metz is quite rich and the triens bear an epigraphy which makes it easy to follow the succession of the Merovingian kings in this city. Many monetary also left their name on the gold coinage. The silver coinage is much less rich in epigraphy and is limited to types with a few initial letters.
