Commentary

Certaines analyses semblent montrer que le titre d’argent s’est abaissé pour tomber au-dessous de 40% d’argent dans certains cas. Les monnaies ne sont plus alors en argent, mais en billon.
Some analysis appears to show that silver has declined to below 40% silver in some cases. The coins are no longer in silver, but in bills
