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. Ce type monétaire se rencontrant souvent en Poitou-Charentes, le ME sous la croisette fait naturellement penser à METVLLO (Melle) où étaient exploitées des mines de plomb argentifère.
