I'm not sure it's the "pseduo-argentus". It looks an usual silvered bronze.


Victor

It looks like the billon issue (hard to be 100% from the picture though). The billon type is actually more common than the bronze type. Below are two of the bronzes. So if this one is silvered bronze in this good condition, it is quite rare.

Thanks Victor,  some softer details convinced me too that is the billion issue.

I agree that the bronze typeis rarer but find a billion one weel struck and not too porous isn't easy.

Yes, it is a very nice example, but I thought it was a little expensive or rather there was no room for me to buy it and make a profit.

I got it.
By the way it has some "bronze areas", expecially on the edges.
