Circa AD 730-735. + NIAVIAS-GVICO (or similar), stylised head in profile made up of pellets with three pellets for eye / + APOL-ENOMO, anchor cross with pellet in three quarters, pellet in crescent and bar below. Unpublished in the standard references. 1.23g, 14mm, 6h. Mint State. Apparently unique and unpublished. For a tentative identification of the issuing authority as Novo Vico (Neuvy-Bouin) cf. Belfort 3246-70 and Prou 2332; for a similar obverse portrait style cf. G. Depeyrot, Le numéraire mérovingien, L'âge du denier, Moneta 22, 2001, p. 106, 4, pl. 16 = Belfort 3621 (Pectatis, Poitiers). The moneyer's Greek name Apoleno is clearly engraved and unknown to Belfort, Prou and Depeyrot.) |
