Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 54 coins de droit et de 60 coins de revers. Ce denier semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 54 obverse dies and 60 reverse dies. This denier seems rarer than general works suggest.
