Commentary
Exemplaire complètement inédit. Deux types d’oboles, rares toutes les deux, sont connues pour Narbonne. La légende de droit ne correspond à aucun de ces deux types, tout comme la légende de revers où le “E” ne semble pas être une double frappe du “B”. Type nouveau, non répertorié, manquant à toutes les collections et absent de tous les trésors !.
