Commentary

Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 85 coins de droit et de 74 coins de revers pour trois variétés. Ce denier est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 85 straight dies and 74 reverse dies for three varieties. This denier is in fact much rarer than general works make it appear.
