Commentary


Ce type de triens semble complètement inédit, mais nous avons eu l’occasion de voir un denier avec ce même revers attribué à Saint-Martin de Tours.
Ce monogramme n’est pas non plus sans rappeler celui du denier bmv_318797 avec une M en plein champ au droit, classé à Melle (Dexu-Sèvres).

Historical background


TOURS (TURONUS CIVITAS)

(7th century)

The Tours workshop is one of the important production sites of the Merovingian period, with a special place for the Saint-Martin abbey and the cathedral church of Saint-Maurice. Over a period of nearly two centuries, the authors have identified 99 coins (45 triens and 54 deniers) minted for the city, Saint-Martin and Saint-Maurice.
