(en) The Frankish kingdoms are the barbarian kingdoms that succeed one another or coexist in Western Europe on the ruins of the Western Roman Empire. After the conquests of Clovis in the 5th century, the kingdom of the Franks merges geographically with Gaul. The term "Frank" quickly lost its ethnic value to designate any free man subject to a Merovingian king, regardless of his origin. Royal or ecclesiastical coins of the Merovingian period are rare: common gold coins bear only a place name and a moneyer name. These moneyer coinages form the background of Merovingian numismatics. More than the Solidus, one then strikes the Tremissis, which can imitate imperial types and whose weight soon decline: the Tremissis of a Constantin contained 1.51 grams of gold; in the 6th century, it weighs only 1.29 grams. In the second half of the 7th century, silver coins reappeared and thus an unstable bimetallism settled. Monetary system thus gradually fell into deep discredit, especially under the last Merovingian kings, in the absence of a centralized guarantee as to the real value of the coins minted by private moneyers.
