An early medieval gold tremissis of uncertain type, probably belonging to the Merovingian 'mint and moneyer'/'national'  series dating to the period c.AD580-670. The 'obverse' shows a potential monogram with the letters AX to the side, and may be influenced by the mongrams seen of, for example, some of the Merovingian royal coins. The 'reverse' may show a devolved Victory, possibly facing. Measurements: 10mm in diameter and 1.38g in weight.

An early-medieval gold Merovingian tremissis, 'mint-and-moneyer' or 'National' series dating to c.AD580-660/70, mint: possibly Allassac [ATACIACO; cf. Belfort 1892 nos 422-3] (Correze, Fr), moneyer: 'Frateciselo' [FRATECLISELO]. Ref: de Belfort 1892: p.123.

It may date more closely to c.AD640-60. The named moneyer FRATECLISELO is not listed in de Belfort's 1982-5 catalogue. Obverse: Diademed bust r…
