Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation inférieure à dix coins de droit et de onze coins de revers. C’est une émission de restitution qui est beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Ce n’est que la seconde fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente, et la première fois pour une monnaie non fourrée !.
