Commentary

Cette frappe postérieure est intéressante car on constate, outre la frappe en médaille, des traces de corrosion du coin au revers qui ont donc généré des petits reliefs irréguliers, une petite cassure de coin. Ce qui est le plus étrange est de constater une légère cannelure sur un jeton qui n’en porte pas au naturel.
This later strike is interesting because we can see, in addition to the medal strike, traces of corrosion of the die on the reverse which therefore generated small irregular reliefs, a small die break. What is most strange is to see a slight groove on a token which does not have one in its natural state
