Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 60 coins de droit et de 75 coins de revers. Ce denier est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent apparaître les différents ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 60 right dies and 75 reverse dies. This denier is in fact much rarer than the various general works make it appear.
