<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hrefn, post: 8106044, member: 115171&quot;]A scholarly paper on the coins found in the grave of King Childerich which amounted to 100 solidi. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.academia.edu/1171510/The_Coins_in_the_Grave_of_King_Childeric" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/1171510/The_Coins_in_the_Grave_of_King_Childeric" rel="nofollow">https://www.academia.edu/1171510/The_Coins_in_the_Grave_of_King_Childeric</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I believe only one solidus is thought to have been barbarous, and that was Visigothic.&nbsp; The author notes the coins were probably carefully selected, rather than representative of whatever gold was available at the time.&nbsp; Nevertheless there are no Merovingian coins at all, and it seems unlikely they were striking coins yet (481 AD.)</p><p><br /></p><p>OTOH, there exist numerous unusual tremisses of Marcian’s immediate successor Leo, which were discussed recently in a previous thread.&nbsp; There is no firm consensus as to their origin.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/unknown-barbarian-tremissis-of-leo.384301/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/unknown-barbarian-tremissis-of-leo.384301/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/unknown-barbarian-tremissis-of-leo.384301/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
