Commentary
Chilpéric II est le roi des Francs de Neustrie et des Burgondes de 715 à 719 puis de tous les Francs de 719 à 721.
Né vers 671, aucune source contemporaine n’indique sa filiation. Si l’on admet son ascendance mérovingienne, on peut le voir soit comme le fils cadet de Childebert IV soit comme un fils de Childéric II. Si on suit la seconde hypothèse, à la mort de son père, de sa mère et des autres enfants royaux en 675, il se serait réfugié auprès de sa grand-mère Bathilde, alors religieuse à Chelles alors qu'il n'avait que cinq ans.
Couronnement de Chilpéric II. Grandes Chroniques de France. Paris, bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève.
Dès la mort de Dagobert III, il est sorti d'un monastère et élu roi par les Neustriens révoltés contre l'autorité de la régente Plectrude, veuve du maire du palais d'Austrasie Pépin de Herstal. Il est alors couronné par le maire du palais Raganfred sous le nom de Chilpéric.

Chilperic II was king of the Franks of Neustria and the Burgundians from 715 to 719, then of all the Franks from 719 to 721. Born around 671, no contemporary source indicates his lineage. If we accept his Merovingian ancestry, we can see him either as the younger son of Childebert IV or as a son of Childeric II. If we follow the second hypothesis, upon the death of his father, his mother, and the other royal children in 675, he would have taken refuge with his grandmother Bathilde, then a nun in Chelles when he was only five years old. Coronation of Chilperic II. Grandes Chroniques de France. Paris, Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève. Upon the death of Dagobert III, he emerged from a monastery and was elected king by the Neustrians who had rebelled against the authority of the regent Plectrude, widow of the mayor of the Austrasian palace, Pepin of Herstal. He was then crowned by the mayor of the palace, Raganfred, under the name Chilpéric. For the rest of his biography, see http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilp%C3%A9ric_II_%28roi_des_Francs%29

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.
