Commentary

Semble de mêmes coins que l’exemplaire de la collection du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF (SNG France 2/ 2002, pl. 109). Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous le présentons à la vente.
Appears to have the same dies as the copy in the collection of the Cabinet des médailles of the BnF (SNG France 2/ 2002, pl. 109). This type seems rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have presented it for sale
