Commentary
Tous les exemplaires publiés semblent avoir un annelet derrière la tête du monstre. Cette série, pourtant rare, semble avoir une multitude de variantes.
La typologie du droit rappelle celle de certaines monnaies antiques, entre autres les monnaies reproduisant un bouclier ornée d’une tête de face....

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.
