<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 8101728, member: 84905&quot;]It is fantastic to have such a provenance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a coin from my collection. It was found in England (Lincolnshire - productive site).* According to Grierson, coins that show a stylized Victoria with dotted wings come from Alamannia, i.e. have been struck in what is now southwestern Germany, Alsace or northwestern Switzerland. The Alamanni were a Germanic people, who came under Frankish suzerainty shortly before AD 500. The coin probably dates to the early 7th century.</p><p>Weight: 1.37g</p><p><br /></p><p>*The &#039;South Lincolnshire productive site&#039; is in the parish of Heckington, in North Kesteven. The site is exceptional for the quantity of continental coins of the 7th and 8th centuries, implying it had a significant role in North Sea trade. It may have suffered a real decline or been abandoned by the 9th century.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1408807[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
