Commentary
Ce type de drachme est très rare ; pour le type PII A “avec la croix à quatre globules sur la joue” les auteurs de l’article de la RN 1996 ont étudié 10 monnaies, dont les six de la BN et les trois de Nantes. Pour cette variété, nous ne connaissons que cinq exemplaires passés sur le marché ; un exemplaire dans la collection Vian vendu chez Poindessault, un vendu chez Barré en décembre 1997, un chez Bourgey en mars 1985, un dans la vente LEU 86 de mai 2003 et le n° 1564 de MONNAIES 38 qui a été vendu 880€ sur un ordre de 998€.
