Commentary


Ce très rare potin n’était répertorié que par un seul exemplaire, celui de la collection Charmasson, dans l’ouvrage de C. Larozas.
Indiqué “Potin au rameau, groupe C”, cette monnaie serait attribuée à Orange selon C. Larozas (?), attribution plus précise que la traditionnelle “Vallée du Rhône” !.
