Merovingians. Paris. Gold Tremissis (1.14 g), ca. 584-639. Paris. Eligius, moneyer. + […]DOVEVS, diademed and draped bust of Clothaire II or Dagobert right. Reverse: + ELIGIV MONETA, cross below Omega. Cf. Belfort 3340; MEC -. Toned Choice Very Fine.

The moneyer Eligius is most certainly the same Eligius who was active during the reigns of Clothaire II and Dogobert. As a youth, he apprenticed as a goldsmith under Abbo, the head of the royal mint at Limoges, and subsequently became the royal moneyer in charge of the mint at Marseille. King Dagobert commissioned Eligius to do the magnificent gold work for the tombs of St. Denis and also St. Martin of Tours. In 641 he was appointed Bishop of Noyon, where he remained until his death on December 1, 660. Posthumously the Church beatified him, making him the patron saint of Noyon, Limoges and Flanders, as well as of goldsmiths, other metalworkers, and coin collectors.
