Commentary


Contremarque au droit devant le visage. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 53 coins de droit et de 59 coins de revers. Ce type est en fait plus rare que ne semblent le montrer les ouvrages généraux.
Countermark on the obverse in front of the face. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 53 obverse dies and 59 reverse dies. This type is actually rarer than general works seem to indicate.
