Commentary


D’après le Moneta, ce type est attribué à Childebert Ier (537-548) et seulement quatre exemplaires ont été étudiés. Selon J. Lafaurie, ce type est le même que celui en bronze.
Dans son étude à paraître sur “Le système trimétallique provençal de Théodebert (534-548)”, P. Schiesser confirme que d’autres rois comme Childebert Ier ont aussi frappé monnaies dans les trois métaux. Il illustre une monnaie comparable à la notre sous sa figure 47 (Cahiers E. Babelon 13.35.1.2).
Ce type en argent correspond donc aux bronzes n° 5454-5656 du Belfort.

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.
