Commentary


Toutes les pièces de six blancs de Sixte V recensées par de Mey portent un millésime, soit en fin de légende du droit, soit sous le chiffre du pape. Cet exemplaire qui ne présente pas de millésime est non recensé dans la plupart des ouvrages de référence, mais se retrouve dans le Muntoni. Il s’agit d’une émission antérieure à l’année 1587.
