| Additional information |
Theudebert II ruled Austrasia from 595 until his deposition and blinding by his brother Theuderic II in 612, shortly after which he was killed. The Brioude mint, situated in the Auvergne, was among the more active Merovingian gold-striking centers of this period, operating under a monetyer system in which semi-independent craftsmen struck coins with varying degrees of royal oversight — which accounts for the considerable die variability seen across Merovingian tremisses generally. The absence of a Belfort number here likely reflects either an unrecorded die pairing or a piece that surfaced after the corpus was compiled.
