Commentary
Poids très léger. Ce denier anonyme est fabriqué au 1/82 L. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de quarante coins de droit et de cinquante coins de revers. Ce denier est en fait plus rare que ne le laissent apparaître les différents ouvrages généraux.
Very light weight. This anonymous denarius is made to 1/82 L. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of forty obverse dies and fifty reverse dies. This denarius is in fact rarer than the various general works suggest.
