Commentary
Ce denier est très rare, puisque ceux avec ANE ou AVE au revers portent généralement au droit un ME sous une croix et non les lettres MN comme sur cet exemplaire.
This coin is very rare, since those with ANE or AVE on the reverse generally bear on the obverse a ME under a cross and not the letters MN as on this example.

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.
