Denier - Moneyer Ebricharius Le Mans

The Merovingian monetary system of the late seventh century was strikingly decentralized — individual moneyers operated under royal sanction but with considerable local autonomy, and their names stamped on the coinage gave them personal accountability for fineness and weight. Ebricharius worked at Le Mans, a mint active throughout the Merovingian period and sufficiently important to appear across multiple reigns. The specific attribution to Belfort 1500 and Mérou 422 places this firmly within the documented corpus, though moneyer-signed deniers from this decade survive in very small numbers.
