name of the abbot, in 1124, and (it
is
supposed) with right reserved to the
See of Verdun to use the mint. This is the only mint which was retained
by the Dukes of Lorraine and Bar after the union, about 1420, of
the two domains and titles. There is a rare esterlin of Edward I., Count
of B., 1302-37, belonging here. S. Michael.
Saint-Omer, an abbatial, seigniorial, and communal mint, Iith-I2th
c.
Probably the money was struck, for the most part, within the Abbey
of St. Bertin, and perhaps the abbatial series and that of the Counts of
Flanders were for some time concurrent. The former read Andomarus,
and on rev. Bertinus, or S. Pet\r\us, with a figure holding a key or a
crozier ;
some exhibit two croziers for the Abbeys of St. Omer and St.
Bertin. The communal coinage lasted during a year only, having been
given to the burgesses by a charter of the Count of Flanders in 1127,
and withdrawn in 1128. Baudouin VI., Robert I., Charles le Bon, etc.,
employed this mint (1067-1128). S. Om., Ome., Omer, or Omes.; sometimes
St. Ome.

coinage of the Abbey of St. Mary, founded by a Count of Anjou in the
nth c., was long vested in that house.
Saint-Paul-Trois-Ckateaux (Augusta Tricastrinoruni), an episcopal
mint from a very remote date. The Emperor Frederic Barbarossa confirmed
the right in 1154. Money was struck here for the Dauphin under
Charles VI., with a crozier as a mark of the Bishop's jurisdiction, and
a proviso that the latter shared the profits. The earliest pieces bear
Ave. Gra. Plena, and on rev. Santi Pauli. Other pieces read Eps.
Santi Pauli Tricastrin. There was an attempt here to imitate the
Florentine gold money in a piece with Flor. Ep. Tea. disposed so as to
resemble Florentia.
Saint- Petersburgh, the mint of some of the Czars in the last and present
c., opened in 1724. Some patterns of the Czarina Anne, 1740, and
of John or Ivan III., 1741, belong here, as well as pieces of 10, and 5, 2^
thaler in gold, and 9 groschen in silver, struck for the grand-duchy of
Oldenburgh.
Saint-Pierre, Metz-in-Lorraine, supposed to be a church or monastery
where a mint was established by the Bishops of the See or the Dukes of
Lorraine. But see Cat. Robert, 1886, No. 433.
Saint-Quentin, Picardy, probably the place of origin of the feudal
coinage of Vermandois, which does not appear to have lasted beyond
1214, when the fief passed to the Crown. Scs Quintinus. Veranumiu,
etc. In 1589 Philippe de Longueville, Governor of Picardy, struck
money here in the name of Henry III. with H. Orleans D. A. D1 Longavill.
