The type was present in several diverse hoards which suggests widespread use for over a century, with over 70 found in the Auriol hoard. &gt;75 obverse dies and &gt;75 reverse dies identified. The significant weight variation may be different denominations or may have traded by weight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
