Commentary
Si la teneur en or des monnaies de ELA est faible, le poids de notre triens est exactement dans la moyenne ; les deux exemplaires de la BN pèsent 1,27 et 1,29 grammes.
Notre monnaie appartient au monétaire ELA. C’est le premier monétaire dont le nom est de consonnance anglo-saxone. Il est aussi le premier qui est représenté dans les collections par plus de 5 exemplaires ; J. Lafaurie en a recensé 16 exemplaires en 1996. Les monnaies signées ELA ont un titre d’or fin en nette chute, variant entre 60 et 46% mais qui sera relevée par ses successeurs aux environs de 55-60%.
(Cf. RN 1996, pages 199-200).
If the gold content of ELA coins is low, the weight of our triens is exactly average; the two examples of the BN weigh 1.27 and 1.29 grams. Our coin belongs to the ELA coinage. It is the first coinage whose name is Anglo-Saxon in sound. It is also the first to be represented in the collections by more than 5 examples; J. Lafaurie listed 16 examples in 1996. The coins signed ELA have a fine gold content in sharp decline, varying between 60 and 46% but which will be raised by its successors to around 55-60%. (Cf. RN 1996, pages 199-200)

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.
