Commentary
Étalon semi-oncial. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a recensé 33 exemplaires à Paris. Seul le quadrans est recensé mais une telle différence de poids semble impossible, surtout avec un exemplaire en si bon état.
Semi-uncial standard. For this type, Mr. Crawford has recorded 33 examples in Paris. Only the quadrans is recorded but such a difference in weight seems impossible, especially with a specimen in such good condition.
