| Additional information |
Neustria's deniers from this period reflect the chaotic decentralization of Merovingian monetary authority — by the late seventh century, minting had fragmented so thoroughly across ecclesiastical and lay workshops that attributing specific pieces to a single authority remains contested. The Paris issues are among the better-documented groups, tied to the royal villa and episcopal center, yet die linkage studies have repeatedly shown that "Paris" as a mint designation covers output from multiple workshops operating with considerable independence.
The "var." notations across all three reference citations are telling: no two specialists have agreed on a clean typology for this transitional coinage.
