Résumé
. — This article proposes that some of the names of Anglo-Saxon moneyers found on English coinage from Of fa of Mercia (757-796) to Edward the Confessor (1042- 1066) can be identified with persons mentioned in contemporary documents (charters or wills). If this is correct it throws important light on the status of moneyers at this period, since several of the names in the documents are those of ministři (king's thegns). In one case, at the end of the eighth century, there is a possible identity between a moneyer and a bishop, reminiscent of the case of Eligius in the first half of the seventh century in France.
