Description
Merovingian Tremissis (LEIC-6BAA60)
A Merovingian gold tremissis found near Tur Langton, Leicestershire
This Merovingian gold tremissis was minted in Bourges in the late 6th or 7th century. It is possible that it made its way to England prior to Viking incursions but it is equally likely that the Vikings brought this coin with them as plunder after raiding in Frankia.
