Commentary
Cette obole est particulièrement rare car elle présente en cœur non pas un annelet doté de deux ailettes, mais un annelet entouré de huit pointes formant une roue. Pour plus de détail sur les obole unifaces de Melle, cf. l’article de Philippe Schiesser, “Les oboles unifaces de Charlemagne de Melle”, Numismatique et archéologie en Poitou-Charentes, RT SENA 2, 2009, p. 49-62 et planche VI.
