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. Un exemplaire en bel état et sur un flan large, a été vendu dans MONNAIES 45, n° 986 à 1178€ sur un ordre maximum de 2050€.
L’exemplaire proposé ici est bien complet, faiblement usé et il présente pourtant un poids si léger qu’il est légitime de s’interroger sur sa nature ; il s’agit vraisemblablement d’une divisionnaire du cuivre au chrisme !.

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.
