Description:		An anonymous Merovingian gold tremissis of the late 6th to 7th century AD. The obverse legend appears to include the word VVICCVS, which suggests Quentovic* as a likely mint. The moneyer's name on the reverse is uncertain. The V-III inscription** in the reverse field indicates the value of eight silver siliquae (i.e. 24 siliquae to a solidus, of which the tremissis is one third). *Quentovic: Wiccvs, Quentovicvs, a former port at the mouth of the Canche, Pas-de-Calais, N.W. France ** The number V-II is more usually found in this position, where it indicates a reduction in the weight of the coin to a value of seven siliquae.

Description:		An anonymous Merovingian gold tremissis of the mid 7th century AD. The obverse legend includes the word VVICOS, which identifies Quentovic* as the mint. The moneyer's name on the reverse is Dutta. *Quentovic: Wicos, Wiccvs, Quentovicvs, a former port at the mouth of the Canche, Pas-de-Calais, N.W. France Cf. PAS: SF-A6A601 (EMC: 2011.0127)

Description:		A pseudo-imperial Visigothic tremissis of the 6th century AD. The coin copies a tremissis of the Byzantine emperor Justin I (AD 518-527), with reasonably legible inscriptions of D N IVSTINVS P P AVG and VICTORIA AVGVSTORV[M] for the obverse and reverse respectively. The exergual inscription CONOB on the reverse is also clear. (There is possibly a small 'O' between the 'I' and 'N' of IVSTINVS, and the final letter of the reverse legend has the appearance of an inverted 'V' rather than an 'M'.)

Description:		A Merovingian gold tremissis of the 'Bust/Cross-on-steps' type, probably dating to the early 7th century AD. Note The cross-on-steps reverse is based on a design first used on solidi of the Byzantine emperor, Tiberius II (578-582).

Description:		A pseudo-imperial tremissis of Merovingian France. The legends are blundered, but that on the obverse is possibly a corrupt form of D N IVSTINVS P P AVG (IVSTIN can be discerned), suggesting the prototype might be a tremissis of the Byzantine emperor, Justin I (518-527), or Justin II (565-578). The attributes of Victory (cross and loop - originally globus cruciger and wreath) match those of the coins referenced in MEC below, for which the prototypes are believed to be tremisses of Justin II.

Description:		A gold tremissis of Merovingian France. The mint and issuer of the coin are uncertain. It is possible that 'EPI' at the end of obverse inscription may indicate an episcopal issue.

Description:		A bronze denier of Merovingian France. This coin has a very similar obverse design to, Roberts no 598, an 'NE' monogram which he suggests may be for Nemfidius. The reverse design is a match for, Roberts no 698, which he discribes as a 'AA' pettern.

Description:		An early medieval pseudo-imperial tremissis of Gaul, dating to the 6th century AD. The obverse bears a bust that appears to be Merovingian in style (cf. MEC 1, 371), while the form of the reverse design has features that are associated with Visigothic tremisses (cf. MEC 1, 193-197 - note particularly Victory's sail-like wing, and head depicted as a cross). The devolved nature of both the obverse and reverse of the present coin suggests that it might be a contemporary imitation rather than an official issue. (A Merovingian copy of a Visigothic tremissis?) The legends are very blundered, and the transcriptions shown below should be regarded as approximate. It is not possible to identify the particular Byzantine emperor whose coin provided the original prototype.
