Commentary
Bronze bien identifiable, avec la légende CABE entière et bien nette. Le type de droit est bien plus large que celui du revers, ce qui est particulièrement flagrant sur cet exemplaire.
Bronze clearly identifiable, with the CABE legend complete and clear. The obverse type is much wider than that of the reverse, which is particularly obvious on this example.
