Commentary

Cette scène d'artisanat est exceptionnelle et particulièrement intéressante ! Aucune scène de ce genre ne figure sur les monnaies gauloises de Gaule, alors que ce genre d'iconographie est "typique" du monnayage anglais.
This craft scene is exceptional and particularly interesting! No scene of this kind appears on Gallic coins from Gaul, while this type of iconography is \\\"typical\\\" of English coinage.
