Commentary
Si nous ne savions pas que nous sommes en présence d'une drachme, nous pourrions penser avoir affaire à un petit lingot. Une appellation locale de cette monnaie serait "la drachme à la paire de fesses" ; ces monnaies sont étudiées par l'université de Pau.
If we did not know that we were dealing with a drachma, we might think we were dealing with a small ingot. A local name for this coin would be “the pair of buttocks drachma”; these coins are studied by the University of Pau
