Commentary

Denier la plus grande rareté manquant à bon nombre de collections. Certainement le plus bel exemplaire connu : celui publié en 1882 par Caron était dans un état déplorable et provenant du trésor de Sierck publié en 1878 et déclaré comme unique. Il pourrait s’agir du deuxième exemplaire connu de cette monnaie.
Denier, the greatest rarity missing from many collections. Certainly the finest known example: the one published in 1882 by Caron was in deplorable condition and came from the Sierck treasure published in 1878 and declared unique. It could be the second known example of this coin.
