Commentary

Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de trente coins de droit et de trente-trois coins de revers. Ce type est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of thirty obverse dies and thirty-three reverse dies. This type is in fact much rarer than general works suggest.
