Commentary

Nous ne connaissons que des exemplaires en PONTIMVSS alors que la légende théorique, si l’on en croit la littérature est PONTIMVSSAN , ici au revers on a COELSTIA et non COELEST.
We only know of examples in PONTIMVSS while the theoretical legend, if we believe the literature, is PONTIMVSSAN, here on the reverse we have COELSTIA and not COELEST
