Era of CHARLES MARTEL and PÉPIN, mayors of the Palais (736-751). Denarius, Troyes (Aube). Silver. 0.73g. (12h). Very Fine to Superb. Rare. A/. +TRI under a tilde. R/. KAS retrograde under a tilde. Gariel, II, n°25 pl. II (Pépin) - Morrison and Grunthal, n°72, copy preserved in Berlin, of same obverse corner pl. 3 - Prou, p. LXXIII " Nothing authorizes to recognize the name of Chelles in the letters KAS engraved on a denarius which, perhaps, is not even of Pépin " - Schiesser, R. et T. de la Séna, n°11, p.114 Chwartz Collection (Alde/OGN), 18 June 2009, no. 48. This denarius was attributed to Pepin the Short for the abbey of Chelles (Kala Monasteri or variants), but it is a Merovingian denarius, as Prou already thought. It is accepted that the obverse is a reference to a place. The obverse bears the inscription TRI for Tricas, using the tilde as the horizontal bar of the T. An attribution to the period of Charles Martel, or even Pépin Maire, is obvious (736-751).
