Commentary

Poids très léger. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation inférieure à 30 pour les coins de droit et inférieure à 33 pour les coins de revers. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Very light weight. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of less than 30 for the obverse dies and less than 33 for the reverse dies. This type seems rarer than general works suggest.
