Commentary

D'après Demole, ces sols de Genève sans millésime, mais avec comme différent une étoile en début de légende du revers, auraient été frappés à partir de 1548 et jusqu'au mois de mai 1550.
According to Demole, these Geneva coins without a date, but with a star at the beginning of the legend on the reverse as a difference, were struck from 1548 until May 1550.
