Commentary

Poids léger. La couleur de cet exemplaire est encore très jaune, mais il doit contenir une part importante de cuivre. L’appellation à l’hippophore vient du personnage qui est placé sous le cheval au revers (mot à mot celui qui porte le cheval où hippos se traduit par cheval et phoros par qui porte, en grec).
Lightweight. The color of this specimen is still very yellow, but it must contain a significant amount of copper. The name hippophora comes from the character placed under the horse on the reverse (literally the one who carries the horse where hippos translates as horse and phoros as who carries, in Greek)
