Commentary
Le droit n’est pas sans rappeler les 24e de statère allemands à la tête janiforme, bien que l’attribution de cette monnaie probablement unique reste incertaine.
The obverse is reminiscent of the 24th German stater with the janiform head, although the attribution of this probably unique coin remains uncertain.
