Commentary
La tête du lion est plus massive avec la crinière bien visible, mais pas la patte. Au revers l’étoile est finement détaillée. Le type avec le lion à gauche semble moins courant.
The lion's head is more massive with the mane clearly visible, but not the paw. On the reverse, the star is finely detailed. The type with the lion on the left seems less common.
