Commentary

Monnaie fourrée. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de trente coins de droit et de trente coins de revers. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Filled coin. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of thirty obverse dies and thirty reverse dies. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest.
