Commentary
Grand denier est à rapprocher de celui de la Bibliothèque nationale de France (Prou, n° 326). Ce denier, au nom du monétaire Chadomarus est datée de la période 670-675 et marque la transition or/argent opérée à cette période. Des triens sont d’ailleurs connus au même type (Prou, n° 311 = Belfort n° 4520).
