Commentary
Si nous ne savions pas que nous sommes en présence d'une drachme, nous pourrions penser avoir affaire à un petit lingot. Une appellation locale de cette monnaie serait "la drachme à la paire de fesses" ; ces monnaies sont étudiées par l'université de Pau.
Cet exemplaire a la particularité d’avoir un beau globule bien net au droit.
If we did not know that we were in the presence of a drachma, we might think that we were dealing with a small ingot. A local name for this coin would be \\\"the drachma with a pair of buttocks\\\"; these coins are studied by the University of Pau. This example has the particularity of having a beautiful, clear globule on the obverse
