Commentary

Double frappe au droit sur le visage. Ce type semble lourd et appartient à une série plus ancienne chronologiquement. Semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Double strike to the obverse of the face. This type appears heavy and belongs to a chronologically older series. Appears rarer than general works suggest.
