Commentary
La légende PECTA est assez explicite sur l’attribution de ce denier à Poitiers. Ce type de deniers toujours de bas titre et de poids léger a été frappé par le monétaire ANDOLENVS.
Le denier Belfort n° 3617 présente le même revers que notre monnaie avec + NDODN, mais associé à la légende VECTA rétrograde au droit.

The Belfort denier n° 3617 has the same reverse as our coin with + NDODN, but associated with the legend VECTA retrograde on the obverse

Historical background
POITIERS - PECTAVIS - CIVITAS PECTAVORUM
(late 7th - early 8th century)
Many denarii from Poitiers have a radiated head, as in Orleans. These denarii were struck at the end of the 7th and the beginning of the 8th century, since they are found in the treasury of Plassac (Gironde) hidden around 710-730. The Merovingian coinage of the Poitevine region is quite diversified, with triens and a wide variety of denarii. The proximity of the silver mines of Melle is certainly no coincidence.
