Commentary


Grand denier issu des mêmes coins de droit et de revers que l’exemplaire 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).

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.
