Tejas Posted January 5, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) It is a Merovingian triens, dating to the 7th century. For some of these coins it is not possible to determine the mint. These coins are rare and if you have the findspot, it is important to report the coin to a museum. For example: Munten | NBB Museum Edited January 5, 2023 by Tejas 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted January 5, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 5, 2023 @tomtjup, that's a stunning example; Congratulations! To @Spaniard's initial responses, it's fun to see stuff written in the only Western or Central European language that makes less sense to me than German! Sustained chuckling ensues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted January 6, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 6, 2023 ...Well, I was thinking of that, along with any Slavic language, as being 'Eastern European.' But no, my geographic boundaries were decidedly arbitrary. ...With Slavic languages, never mind Uralic ones, you can just push me into the water, on an ice floe, and watch it melt.

Theoderic Posted January 6, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 6, 2023 tomtjup, Adding to what the others have written, this type seems to be attributed to the Merovingian mint at Orleans. You can find several examples online but here is a similar one that was sold by CNG in 2017. MEROVINGIANS, Orléans. Circa 620-640. AV Tremissis (11mm, 1.30 g, 12h). Angiulfus, moneyer. Diademed head right / Cross ancrée. NM 11; Belfort 535; cf. MEC 1, 461-2. Excellent find! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwerpen2306 Posted January 9, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think there is a system to translate it, but it is very impressive an other language is accepted. I think it is a very major argument to discuss here and to find new members with linguistic problems. I think my Antwerp speaking will not be translated, but in Egypt, I have met a Scottish couple who understand me, talking to my wife. The man said that his local language was very similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
