| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly schematized and stylized bust facing right, rendered in the debased Merovingian tradition with strongly abstracted facial features. The effigy is surrounded by a circular border of pellets or beaded elements, with the legend arranged around the periphery of the field. The design reflects the progressive degeneration of late antique portraiture characteristic of Frankish gold coinage of the early 7th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Vouzon mint operated during the Merovingian period when coin production had fragmented almost entirely into local hands — monetarii (private moneyers) striking gold tremisses under royal sanction but with considerable autonomy over design and quality. Vouzon, a small locality in the Orléanais, appears in the numismatic record almost exclusively through its coinage rather than documentary sources. Belfort's references 6000–6001 distinguish two closely related die groups from this mint, the differences subtle enough that misattribution in older collections was routine.
