Trade across the North Sea and the Channel and political ties with Merovingian France stimulated the birth of an Anglo-Saxon gold coinage in the second quarter of the seventh century. The design of this thrymsa is based on late Roman solidi of the fourth century which bore a reverse depicting two seated co-emperors with a figure of Victory above.
