Commentary
Représentation du revers tout à fait inhabituelle. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux C’est la première fois que nous el proposons à la vente.
A very unusual representation of the reverse. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have offered it for sale.
