Commentary
Pour le revers, il existe un nombre très important de variétés de combinaisons entre le mat, les rames, le gouvernail, et les enseignes. “Il existe un coin de Padouan, dont voici les particularités qui le distinguent de toutes les médailles authentiques que j’ai vues, sans cependant que je veuille dire que ce faussaire l’ait inventé : 1° le buste est nu à droite, drapé et cuirassé ; 2° les rameurs sont au nombre de dix sur le premier rang et de huit sur le second ; 3° Neptune y tient un sceptre.” H. Cohen, Paris, 1882, vol. II, p. 167. Nous sommes donc en présence de la copie, voir d’une invention de monnaie romaine, coulé à la Renaissance au XVIe siècle et ensuite surmoulé pendant trois siècles, appelés Padouan, du nom de la ville de Padoue dont était originaire au départ les faussaires fabriquant ce type de pièce, le plus connu d’entre eux, s’appelant Cavino.
For the reverse, there are a very large number of varieties of combinations between the mast, the oars, the rudder, and the ensigns. “There is a Paduan coin, the particularities of which are as follows which distinguish it from all the authentic medals that I have seen, without however wanting to say that this forger invented it: 1° the bust is naked on the right, draped and cuirassed; 2° the rowers are ten in number on the first row and eight on the second; 3° Neptune holds a scepter.” H. Cohen, Paris, 1882, vol. II, p. 167. We are therefore in the presence of a copy, or even an invention of Roman coin, cast during the Renaissance in the 16th century and then over-molded for three centuries, called Padouan, from the name of the city of Padua where the counterfeiters manufacturing this type of coin originally came from, the best known of them being called Cavino.
