<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hrefn, post: 8095288, member: 115171&quot;][USER=110504]@+VGO.DVCKS[/USER] here are my notes on this coin, if this helps.&nbsp; &nbsp; #84 is a Merovingian Solidus modeled on Anastasius (491-518AD.). Mint:&nbsp; possibly Rheims.&nbsp; His reign approximated that of Clovis.&nbsp; Clovis was baptized in Rheims. Very similar to MEC I 344, noted by Grierson to be more likely Merovingian than Burgundian. Note the spelling VICTOBI and the backward N in CONOB.&nbsp;&nbsp; This coin is also ex: Subjack collection but I bought it from Gordon Andreas Singer on 11/6/1999 for CMT when I recognized it from one of the Subjack sales catalogs, Nummorum Auctiones 14 lot#22.&nbsp; It went under the hammer again in Nummorum Auctiones 15 #1709, 15 June 1999. And again on 9 October 1999 in auction 16 #628, here attributed definitely to the Merovingians. Either no one wanted it or someone failed to pay, which is odd because Merovingian full solidi are uncommon. [ATTACH=full]1407248[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
