Commentary

On notera avec un grand intérêt que la face vierge présente des marques de tour ; ceci nous fournit l’explication des fins cercles que l’on devine sous les motifs de certains essais de Bazor, en 100 francs. Les flans utilisés, artisanaux, portaient ces marques de tour qui transparaissent malgré la frappe.
