Commentary


Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 51 coins de droit et de 57 coins de revers pour trois variétés. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 51 obverse dies and 57 reverse dies for three varieties. This type appears to be rarer than general works suggest.
