This is a great article and I particularly like the Merovingian and the stater examples shown. Interview with Gildas Salaun, in charge of the Medalist at the DOBRÉE Museum https://numismag.com/fr/2018/08/20/interview-de-gildas-salaun-charge-medaillier-musee-dobree/
That was a very interesting interview. I was particularly intrigued by the axe money. And, thank goodness for Google translate, since I don't read French!
Thanks anyway. It would have a better effect in English, since probably most of us don't read, write, or speak French.
My phone and computer gives me an option to translate any foreign language to English. I thought that was common these days for all phones and web browsers.
