Commentary
La monnaie P960 illustrée par T. Abramson, du même type que celle proposée ici, est considérée comme un “type 30/b/8 mule variety 3”. Ce type de mule ou hybride semble très rare ! L’exemplaire d'Oxford aurait été trouvé en 1992 entre Esat Ilsley et West Ilsley. Ces deux monnaies pèsent 1,2 et 1,22 gramme, ce qui fait du nôtre un exemplaire très léger !.
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.
