| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a faithful reproduction of a Merovingian gold triens, a coin denomination equivalent to one-third of a solidus, circulated during the reign of Dagobert I (629–639 AD). The triens design is presented in high relief at the center of the field, faithfully evoking the style of early medieval Frankish coinage. During the Merovingian period, the gold monetary system comprised the solidus, the semissis, and the triens, with one solidus equivalent to 40 silver deniers. The surrounding field of the modern coin provides a plain, uncluttered background that highlights the historical motif. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris' ongoing "Coin of History" series, which pairs modern commemorative issues with medieval subjects, this piece honors the Frankish king whose reign (629–639) marked the last period of effective Merovingian royal authority. After Dagobert I, real power passed permanently to the mayors of the palace, reducing his successors to the roi fainéants — the "do-nothing kings" — a constitutional collapse from which the dynasty never recovered.
Dagobert is also among the earliest Frankish rulers for whom contemporary coinage evidence survives, making the irony of commemorating him on a modern struck piece reasonably pointed.
