Commentary


Cet denier est très intéressant, avec une M particulièrement bien venue au droit, mais un revers comme frappé avec un coin presque lisse, montrant seulement quelques gros globules en périphérie. D’attribution incertaine, ce denier semble néanmoins pouvoir être rapproché de la série à l’M classé au Poitou et plus précisément à Melle.
This denier is very interesting, with a particularly well-placed M on the obverse, but a reverse as if struck with an almost smooth die, showing only a few large globules on the periphery. Of uncertain attribution, this denier nevertheless seems to be able to be linked to the series with the M classified in Poitou and more precisely in Melle

Historical background


POITOU - METALUS VICUS - MELLE (Deux-Sevres)

(late 7th - 8th centuries)

The Melle workshop, in the south-east of Deux-Sèvres, was important in the Carolingian period and seems to have been in operation from the Merovingian period. The silver-lead mines are still accessible and can be visited by a wide public.
