Commentary

Contremarque au droit derrière Jupiter. Représentation du revers historiquement importante avec une représentation du premier temple de Jupiter capitolin. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 70 coins de droit et de 78 coins de revers. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Countermark on the obverse behind Jupiter. Historically important reverse representation with a depiction of the first Capitoline Temple of Jupiter. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 70 obverse dies and 78 reverse dies. This type appears rarer than general works suggest.
