Commentary


Les monnaies de cuivre sont rares dans le monnayage mérovingien. Les seules vraiment bien classées sont celles de Marseille, avec un nom de roi.
Notre exemplaire uniface correspond aux monnaies reprises dans le Belfort sous les numéros 5453-5460 attribués à Childebert Ier (511-558), mais aussi à Théodebert Ier (534-548) pour le n° 5462 ou encore Dagobert III (711-715) pour les n° 5504-5506, avec ce même chrisme mais dans un listel plutôt que dans une guirlande végétale.

Historical background


MEROVINGIAN COINS - FRANKISH KINGDOM - CHILDEBERT I

(511-558)

Childebert is the son of Clovis and Clothilde. In 511, on the death of his father, the kingdom was divided between him and his three brothers, Thierry, Clodomir and Clothaire. Childebert inherited the lands located between the Seine and the Loire (Paris, Chartres, Le Mans). In 526, on the death of Clodomir, Childebert and Clotaire slaughtered their nephews to seize his inheritance. In 534, Clothaire and Childebert united and defeated the Burgundians near Autun. In 558 Childebert died childless and his estates were recovered by Clothaire.
