Commentary


Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 88 coins de droit et de 98 coins de revers. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux et se rencontre moins souvent que celui avec les instruments pontificaux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 88 obverse dies and 98 reverse dies. This type seems rarer than the general works suggest and is encountered less often than that with the pontifical instruments
