Commentary


Pooids léger. La tête du lion est plus allongée avec la crinière bien visible. La langue du lion est bien visible. Au revers l’étoile est stylisée. Le type avec le lion à gauche semble moins courant.
Light weight. The lion's head is more elongated with the mane clearly visible. The lion's tongue is clearly visible. On the reverse, the star is stylized. The type with the lion on the left seems less common.
