| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a beaded border, the reverse presents a mint monogram formed by the interlaced letters M, A, R, and L, denoting the mint of Marsal, surmounted by a horizontal bar. The monogram is boldly struck in the crude, high-relief style typical of Frankish hammered deniers of the mid-eighth century, filling the irregular flan with minimal surrounding field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pépin III seized the Frankish throne in 751 after Pope Zachary sanctioned the deposition of the last Merovingian, Childeric III, who was tonsured and packed off to a monastery. The monetary reform that followed was decisive: Pépin progressively centralized coinage authority, shifting production away from the dispersed network of moneyers that had characterized late Merovingian issues. The Marsal mint — operating in what is now the Moselle region — was among the ecclesiastical minting centers active during this transition, its output reflecting the administrative consolidation Pépin imposed before Charlemagne inherited and extended it.
The absence of catalog numbers across Nouchy, Gariel, Morrison, and Prou signals genuine rarity rather than an oversight.
