John Conduitt Posted October 15, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2022 Considering how rare, interesting and well struck it is, it wasn’t all that expensive. Relatively, of course 😂 Great buy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerman Posted October 16, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 I was totally shocked too. The coin was in Heritage's Europe Auction/ where it went under the radar. Luck is a big factor in any auction. Most Merovingian AV coins are very rare/ however the Regnal issues are super rare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nap Posted October 16, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 16, 2022 Coins in the names of Merovingian kings are all very rare. The Banassac issues of Charibert II and Sigibert III are perhaps the most common, and maybe the issues of Chlothar II. But even these are quite rare. Here is my only regal issue, of Charibert II, king of Aquitaine 629-632. The king's name is on the reverse. 11 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted November 12, 2022 · Member Share Posted November 12, 2022 Amazing, @panzerman. Sometimes even you outdo yourself. :<} Is there any basis even for informed speculation about the obverse legend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerman Posted November 13, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 I can only makeout the MONET on reverse/ the ANCCO is blundered by inexperienced hammer guy. The so called "moneyer" should have been sacked for incompetence! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
