Commentary
Les monnaies retrouvées et étudiées par Jean Lafaurie (RN 1996), ont permis de dénombrer neuf noms de monétaires sur près d'un siècle. Ces neuf noms "désignent vraisemblablement dix personnes, car il est possible de distinguer deux sortes de monnaies assez éloignées dans le temps", signées du même nom : Anglus". Notre monnaie appartient au premier monétaire portant ce nom. L'émission se termine avec une série de triens à l'effigie redressée et au revers une croix potencée. Les titres d’or de ces monnaies varient entre 55 et 62%. Les lettres sont gravées très géométriquement ; le M de Monet est en forme de "râteau" et les O sont losangés. Les monnaies du deuxième Anglus ont une écriture plus "continentale”. La datation, à partir de l'ensemble du monnayage, situerait Anglus I entre 625 et 635. Les critères de datation reposent sur la comparaison des styles, de la typologie et de la teneur en or fin.
The coins discovered and studied by Jean Lafaurie (RN 1996) allowed for the identification of nine moneyers' names over nearly a century. These nine names \\\"likely refer to ten individuals, as it is possible to distinguish two types of coins, quite distant in time,\\\" all bearing the same name: Anglus. Our coin belongs to the first moneyer of this name. The issue concludes with a series of triens featuring an upright effigy and a cross potent on the reverse. The gold content of these coins varies between 55 and 62%. The letters are engraved in a very geometric style; the M of Monet is rake-shaped, and the Os are lozenge-shaped. The coins of the second Anglus have a more \\\"continental\\\" script. Dating, based on the entire coinage, places Anglus I between 625 and 635. The dating criteria rely on a comparison of styles, typology, and fine gold content.

Historical background
QUENTOVIC (WICVS IN PONTIO)
(7th century)
Jean Lafaurie, in his article in the Revue Numismatique of 1996, takes stock of knowledge on this coinage of Wicus. As early as the 17th century, Quentovic, the Roman port located at the mouth of the Canche, was proposed. In the 19th century, "a disappeared place near Etaples" (Pas-de-Calais), was proposed, while this town is located in the Boulonnais on the right bank of the mouth of the river. Wicus in Pontio is however located in Ponthieu. The oldest mention of Quentovic dates back to 720. One hundred and twenty-two coins have been listed by J. Lafaurie.
