Commentary

Ce buste a servi très longtemps et est rarement cohérent avec la date du jeton. Il s’agit, d’une certaine manière, d’un “buste banal” et passe-partout. Il n’est pas exclu que ce jeton soit d’une frappe postérieure.
This bust was used for a very long time and is rarely consistent with the date of the token. It is, in a way, a “banal bust” and all-purpose. It is not excluded that this token is from a later minting
