Commentary

Poids extrêmement léger. Fourré. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 87 coins de droit et de 97 coins de revers pour trois variétés. Ce type est en fait plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux.
Extremely light weight. Filled. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 87 obverse dies and 97 reverse dies for three varieties. This type is actually rarer than general works suggest.
