Retouched photo (erasing of the copyright mention) of a coin sold the 30/04/2009 by CGB.fr, MONNAIES 38, lot 1053, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=608948, link to their website: https://www.cgbfr.com/. The copyright stuck on the reverse of the coin has been withdrawn (with the agreement of CGB.fr), slightly modifying the actual visual from 5 to 6 o'clock at the bottom of the reverse of the coin.

I tried to establish a classification of the coins according to the breaks of the legends, marks and dots. Difficult because the details are often out of blank, some coins are perhaps with dots or even an invisible mark but present on the die original. In this case, I report it here.

It is possible that other dots are present on the reverse but off the blank or erased. The AYC #11 (2), (3) et (4) could be the same (they would therefore be the AYC # 11 (5) variant with the three dots), each coin displaying a single dot out of the three present in reality. These three variants are to be confirmed.
