Commentary

Rubans de type 3. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente et un bronze pour le règne de Claude. Ce monnayage divisionnaire semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Type 3 ribbons. This is the first time we have offered this type for sale, and a bronze for the reign of Claudius. This fractional coinage appears to be much rarer than general works suggest.
