Abstract. The PIM research project (meaning “Police pour les Inscriptions Monétaires”) aims to produce a suitable tool for transcribing the information contained on monetary inscriptions, beyond their semantic content. The textual information and graphic features that a coin carries can provide many valuable information regarding its origin and the society in which it was minted [trecourt2012]. Since there was previously no digital font that could fully and accurately render the monetary inscriptions, this project was initiated in 2013 by Florence Codine, curator in charge of the Merovingian coins at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), and is currently supervised by Frédérique Duyrat.
