Commentary

Contremarque au droit. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de huit coins de droit et de six coins de revers. M. Crawford n’a répertorié qu’un unique exemplaire dans les trésors provenant du dépôt de Bourgueil. Ce type est infiniment plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les différents ouvrages de référence.
Countermark on the obverse. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of eight obverse dies and six reverse dies. Mr. Crawford listed only one example in the treasures from the Bourgueil deposit. This type is infinitely rarer than the various reference works suggest.
