MEROVINGIANS, Uncertain. Circa 725-750. AR Denier (13.5mm, 0.84 g, 12h). Monogram or hybrid figure standing facing; ornament and annulet flanking / Uncertain animal standing right on ground line. Unpublished in the standard references. VF, dark, rough surfaces.

An enigmatic issue, this coin may also be an unrecorded sceat, due to its lower weight and fabric (although northern Merovingian types like this are known (see OdV&K for other issues). This coin was most likely struck along the Channel, where there was a flow of Continental types to Britain and Frisia where they were imitated.
