Pseudo Madelinus silver/gold 7th century AD

[Johan K]

Hi there ! I've been away for a while due to study and work. Next tuesday I'll have my final exam, then I'll have plenty time to swing the coil again !
But, in december last year I did some hunting in my spare moments of time. I did an amazing find. I found a coin of the 7th century (650-670) and made of silver, it contains
10 % Gold. A very rare find. The coin was made by a mint-master named Madelinus (during the Merovingian period, 400-700 AD). The coin used to be made of solid gold, but this one was made of silver. Fine with me haha. Last summer I went to France, found me a beautifull Roman Coin, I didn't had to clean it up. Came right out of the soil tis way. Enjoy the pic's !!

It's incrdible to ponder what those coins saw, and how long they sat in the ground as history happened around them. Thanks for sharing and congrats!
