Unique coin to date, corresponds exactly to the old illustrations in the books. I quote Monnaies d'Antan: ''Collection Alexis Bigot - Monnaie trouvée dans les environs de Josselin. Monnaie publiée dans la revue numismatique 1855 Pl I n◦1. Bigot Pl IV, 1. Seule monnaie connue et frappée à Nantes pour Pépin le Bref.''. Traduction: ''Alexis Bigot Collection - coin found in the vicinity of Josselin. Coin published in the numismatic review 1855 Pl I n◦1. Bigot Pl IV, 1. The only coin known and minted in Nantes for Pepin the Short.''.
It seems that this coin went on sale before the 2000s in a AU state for a price around 18.000 francs.
