Commentary
Ce type précis semble extrêment rare et manquerait à toutes les publications consultées. Outre un traitement très particulier de la chevelure, le revers semble présenter un char et non un bige, avec un croissant devant le cheval (dont les oreilles sont disproportionnées, comme s’il s’agissait d’un âne ?).
Ce même croissant est visible sur le statère BN. 5949A..
This particular type seems extremely rare and would be missing from all the publications consulted. In addition to a very particular treatment of the hair, the reverse seems to present a chariot and not a biga, with a crescent in front of the horse (whose ears are disproportionate, as if it were a donkey?). This same crescent is visible on the stater BN. 5949A.
