Commentary


Ces deniers se répartissent en deux classes ; le droit de la première est assez fin, avec un traitement relativement naturaliste alors que le droit de la seconde est très stylisé avec un gros œil en amande et un nez terminant le front.
Cet exemplaire est d’un stès bon style, avec presque toutes les légendes lisibles !.
These coins are divided into two classes; the obverse of the first is quite fine, with a relatively naturalistic treatment, while the obverse of the second is very stylized with a large almond-shaped eye and a nose ending the forehead. This example is in very good style, with almost all the legends legible!
