[QUOTE="Nap, post: 7351006, member: 73099"]This coin is not from the Abramson sale. There were a number of thrymsas in that sale but they fetched crazy amounts. The Merovingian coin is neat, I like it! I think Merovingian silver, and to a lesser extent gold, is a field ripe for research and discovery. I hope to see a detailed study one day similar to what has been done with sceattas. (Preferably in English, but I wouldn't be choosy). The pale thrymsas are more common than the earlier ones, which makes them more collectible. The type I shared suffers from being too rare for its own good, nobody even knows what it is. Here are a few pale thrymsas of the "PADA type". One looks so debased that it's debatable whether it is more than 5% gold. [ATTACH=full]1282046[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1282045[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
