Commentary

Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de trente-six coins de droit et de trente-neuf coins de revers pour trois variétés. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of thirty-six upright dies and thirty-nine reverse dies for three varieties. This type seems rarer than general works suggest.
