Neustria's minting authority in this period was fragmented across episcopal and royal workshops operating with minimal central oversight — a deliberate consequence of the Carolingian mayors of the palace steadily hollowing out Merovingian royal prerogative before the dynasty's formal end in 751. The Paris workshop was among the more productive, serving a commercial hub at the Seine crossing that remained active even as political power drained northward toward Austrasia.

Prou's classification of this type within the Merovingian series places it in the final generation of issues before Pepin III's monetary reforms standardized weight and type across the Frankish realm.
