Commentary

Poids léger. Le type de revers est peut-être à mettre en rapport avec le monnayage fédéral du même type avec la petite massue au-dessus du canthare (coll. BCD. n° 21).
Light weight. The reverse type is perhaps related to the federal coinage of the same type with the small club above the kantharos (BCD collection no. 21)
