An Early Medieval gold coin; a 7th-century tremissis that was minted at Dorestad in the Netherlands by Rimoaldus in c.600 - 675 AD. The coin has a diameter of 12.7mm and is 1.3mm thick.

A gold Early Medieval coin; probably a Merovingian tremissis dating from the 6th or 7th century, 500-700 AD. It has a diameter of 10.92mm, thickness 1.40mm, weight 1.11g. The design seems too large for the flan, so possibly it was copied from a larger coin of c.20mm diameter. There is a border defined by solid lines on one face, containing curved line, straight lines and pellets. The central motif is an unintelligible group of curved lines and pellets. The other face is weakly struck and possibly bears a crude bust and blundered legend.

"Report on a case of possible Treasure from Ainderby Steeple, North Yorkshire (2009 T717) This report concerns what appears to be a tremissis or pseudo-tremissis of the 7th century.

Such coins were produced in fairly good gold at the beginning of the century, but with the gold contained declining as the century progressed, with the gold increasingly replaced by silver. From its appearance, this one probably dates from somewhere fairly early in the ce…

An Anglo-Saxon gold tremissis of the early to mid 7th century (c. 600-675). There is some controversy about the interpretation of the mint name (SVLIACO). Belfort assigns similar coins (nos 4171-3) to Souille in Sarthe, but Prou (cf no. 668) identifies the mint as Sully-sur-Loire in Loiret.
