Commentary
Poids excessivement léger. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. Objet dans le champ à gauche du revers, chrisme dans le champ à droite. Étendard plein ? Semble complètement inédit et non recensé pour cette officine. Pour cet atelier et cette émission, seules les cinq premières officines étaient recensées.
Excessively light weight. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Pteryges invisible under the paludamentum. Object in the left field of the reverse, chrism in the right field. Full standard? Seems completely new and not recorded for this pharmacy. For this workshop and this issue, only the first five pharmacies were recorded
