Commentary


Poids léger. Grande effigie. Rubans de type 2. Exemplaire de la plus grande rareté. La titulature et le portrait sont très proches des folles lyonnais des trois premières émissions (294-295) et seraient donc frappés à Boulogne. Le follis n’est pas de Lyon et n’a pas eu la marque d’exergue arasée ou n’est pas mal frappée, la marque mal venue. Il s’agit d’un scalptor lyonnais comme l’a démontré le Docteur Pierre Bastien qui suit le “comitatus” de Constance Chlore qui s’apprête à passer en Bretagne afin d’affronter Allectus. Un seul exemplaire répertorié dans le corpus du Docteur Bastien en 1976 (B. 4a, pl. LXIX avec la césure POPV-LI contre deux avec la césures POP-VLI).
Light weight. Large effigy. Type 2 ribbons. Extremely rare example. The title and the portrait are very close to the folles lyonnais of the first three issues (294-295) and would therefore have been struck in Boulogne. The follis is not from Lyon and did not have the exergue mark leveled or is not badly struck, the mark is badly placed. It is a scalptor lyonnais as demonstrated by Doctor Pierre Bastien who follows the “comitatus” of Constance Chlore who is preparing to go to Brittany to confront Allectus. Only one example listed in Doctor Bastien's corpus in 1976 (B. 4a, pl. LXIX with the caesura POPV-LI against two with the caesura POP-VLI)
