Commentary
Ce type 2c de la série D se divise en deux, selon que le poids est lourd ou léger. D. M. Metcalf fait pourtant remarquer qu'il existe des copie difficile à reconnaître et que certaine monnaies officielles ont pourtant un style très “pauvre”.
Ce denier probablement frappé à Domburg, est repris comme “Continental runic type”.

Historical background
ENGLAND - ANGLO-SAXONS
(7th - 8th centuries)
If the minting of these coins is to be located at the beginning of the 8th century, in Great Britain, it is not exceptional to find them in Gaul. They are often confused with Merovingian silver coins (cf. MONNAIES XIX, n° 503, sceattas c. 680-710, classified in Merovingian denier of Laon). During the 8th century, the style of these pieces is more and more degenerated, they are often in ridge or filled. These coins disappeared from circulation in the second half of the 8th century.
