Commentary
Caribert Ier (nommé Charibert par Grégoire de Tours - signifie « Brillant dans l'armée », hari (troupe, bande armée) et bert (brillant, bonheur) en vieux francique) (v. 521 - près de Bordeaux, 567), roi de Paris de 561 à 567. Il est le fils de Clotaire Ier et de sa première épouse Ingonde.
En 558, Caribert et Gontran furent envoyés par Clotaire pour reprendre le Limousin à leur frère Chramn, qui s’en était emparé. Leurs armées se firent face au pied de la montagne noire où ils incitèrent Chramn à rendre les terres appartenant à leur père. Il refusa et une tempête empêcha la bataille. Chramn en profita pour duper ses frères en envoyant un messager les informant de la mort de Clotaire, qui se battait contre les saxons. Caribert et Gontran se rendirent aussitôt en Burgondie.
Pour le reste de sa biographie et particulièrement sa vie conjugale très particulière http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribert_Ier.
Caribert I (named Charibert by Gregory of Tours - means \\\"Brilliant in the army\\\", hari (troop, armed band) and bert (brilliant, happiness) in Old Frankish) (c. 521 - near Bordeaux, 567), king of Paris from 561 to 567. He was the son of Clotaire I and his first wife Ingonde. In 558, Caribert and Gontran were sent by Clotaire to retake Limousin from their brother Chramn, who had seized it. Their armies faced each other at the foot of the Black Mountain where they urged Chramn to return the lands belonging to their father. He refused and a storm prevented the battle. Chramn took advantage of this to dupe his brothers by sending a messenger informing them of the death of Clotaire, who was fighting against the Saxons. Caribert and Gontran immediately went to Burgundy. For the rest of his biography and particularly his very particular married life http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribert_Ier

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.
