Commentary
Cet exemplaire ne correspond pas exactement à l’exemplaire décrit par R. Chalon dans la RBN, 1861, ni à celui d’Engel en 1885 ni à celui de De Mey n°75 qui comporte la légende ARGENTEA. La légende commence à six heures sur cet exemplaire avec ARGENTIA comme l’exemplaire de la collection Alain Tissière (MONNAIES XVII, n° 2303).
