Commentary
C’est l’une des plus petites monnaies divisionnaires en cuivre. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente.
It is one of the smallest divisional copper coins. This type seems rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we are offering it for sale.
