Commentary


Poids léger. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 144 coins de droit et de 175 coins de revers. La palme au revers ressemble plus à un sceptre ou à un fouet. Ce type est en fait plus rare que ne semblent le montrer les ouvrages généraux..
Lightweight. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 144 obverse dies and 175 reverse dies. The palm on the reverse looks more like a scepter or a whip. This type is actually rarer than general works seem to indicate.
