Commentary

Au droit, le sceptre est parfois décrit comme surmonté par une tête. Sur notre exemplaire, on ne voit pas la sceptre, en revanche la tête de l’empereur est plus grosse.
On the right, the scepter is sometimes described as surmounted by a head. On our example, we do not see the scepter, however the emperor's head is larger
