Description: | Part of a silver coin of Early Medieval date, and Merovingian. The coin is laminating or may be a copper alloy core with a silver surface. The design of one face is illegible except for the letters: "[-]EC" in the legend. The other face has a central cross on a step and the three visible letters of the legend are: "(L) V (r)". This is probably a silver copy of a gold tremissis from Dorestad by the moneyer Madelinus. The later ones get quite blundered, which probably explains the odd legends on this example.
