Commentary

Monnaie probablement fourrée. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation inférieure à trente coins pour le droit et inférieure à trente-trois coins pour le revers. Ce denier est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les principaux ouvrages.
Probably stuffed coin. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of less than thirty coins for the right and less than thirty-three coins for the reverse. This denier is in fact much rarer than the main works suggest.
