Forrer (1902-30, I, p. 9) riporta: In the Cuerdale find a curious piece was met with, bearing on obv. the legend ABBO MONET or MANET, and a Merovingian bust, and on R/ a cruciform monogram. The Vicomte Ponton d'Amecourt, and after him Mr. Kenyon, in his Gold Coins of England, concluded that Abbo worked as moneyer in England and that he was one of the Franks who accompanied St. Augustine to England, in 596 or 597. It is however more within reason to accept Mr. Keary's opinion, that the English coins ascribed to this moneyer, and "which differ considerably from those of Abbo executed in France, are merely imitations of Merovingian trientes made in this country".
