Commentary


Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de trente-huit coins de droit et de quarante-sept coins de revers. Cet exemplaire est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of thirty-eight dies and forty-seven dies of reverse. This example is in fact much rarer than general works suggest.
