Dorestad, Netherlands (600-855)Comments
The types with imperial title are minted only from 812 according to Lafaurie, confirmed by Coupland, date on which the emperor of the East recognizes this title to the emperor of the West. This also explains the rarity of these coins which were produced over a short period of time.
