Commentary
Malgré la rareté du type, nous n’avons pas relevé de liaison de coin pertinente. Le coin de droit est très proche des exemplaires 30 et 31 du classement de Zabel et Meadows, n° 30 et 31, pl. 42. En revanche, la césure du revers pour le magistrat ne semble pas signalée.
Despite the rarity of the type, we have not noted any relevant die connection. The obverse die is very close to examples 30 and 31 of the Zabel and Meadows classification, nos. 30 and 31, pl. 42. On the other hand, the caesura on the reverse for the magistrate does not seem to be indicated.
