Commentary
Si le revers est un classique pour les languedociennes, avec une oreille dans un des cantons, le droit est nettement plus complexe : plusieurs monnaies types en sont proches, sans y correspondre exactement (cf. S. 285-286, 309)..
If the reverse is a classic for the Languedoc women, with an ear in one of the cantons, the obverse is clearly more complex: several typical coins are close to it, without corresponding exactly (cf. S. 285-286, 309).
