Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 370 coins de droit et de 462 coins de revers pour deux variétés. C’est l’un des deniers républicains les plus courants du monnayage avec une production dépassant certainement le million de deniers frappés.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 370 straight dies and 462 reverse dies for two varieties. It is one of the most common republican deniers in coinage with a production certainly exceeding one million deniers struck.
