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” .
If we didn't know 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 drachma with a pair of buttocks.\\\"
