Commentary


Sur cet exemplaire qui appartiendrait à la classe Ig1, le sanglier est encore assez naturel alors qu’il a la forme d’une arche pour la classe Ig2. La croix du revers pourrait être assimilée au lis des classes Ih et j.
On this specimen, which would belong to class Ig1, the boar is still quite natural, whereas it has the shape of an arch for class Ig2. The cross on the reverse could be assimilated to the lily of classes Ih and j
