It is thought to be related to coins of Quentovic which have the legend ABBATI. This suggests the coin may have had some ecclesiastical significance, possibly coined for an abbot in northern France. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]643637[/ATTACH] </p><p>Primary phase sceatta</p><p>S.779</p><p>Series C1</p><p>O: Radiate bust right, APA in runes</p><p>R: Degenerated standard with TOTII</p><p><br /></p><p>The quality of the artistry during the primary phase decreased as time progressed.
