Title
Early Medieval Coin: Sceat
Description
English: An silver early medieval Merovingian denier of a previously unrecorded type, c.AD 700-40, possibly Chalon-sur-Saone. The reverse may be related to De Belfort 6582 and 6514, both of unassigned mint.

The reverse inscription, VVNTVIO, is unlisted although may be a blundered version of VVINTRIO for the moneyer Wintrio) known from tremisses listed for Chalon-sur-Saone (Prou 183-194) and Izernore (De Belfort 2065/Prou 125 var.), both in the Geneva area. The obverse inscription may read CVVOIN+OI possibly a devolved version of CABILONNVM (Chalon-sur-Saone), and similar to CA VI O+ NO as seen on a Chalon denier listed by Depeyrot (2001), Le Numeraire Merovingien p.97 no 11.

It has also been suggested that the coin is in the style of the Poitiers region (Phillippe Schiesser pers comm).
