Commentary

Au droit, nous avons deux types d’ornementation sur le diadème, une croix ou trèfle trifolié et deux types de bustes bien différents, le premier grossier et le second fin. Notre exemplaire présente bien un trèfle lié à un buste légèrement stylisé du premier groupe.
On the obverse, we have two types of ornamentation on the diadem, a cross or trifoliate clover and two very different types of busts, the first coarse and the second fine. Our example clearly presents a clover linked to a slightly stylized bust from the first group
