A copy illustrated in the form of a drawing, in the work of Patrick Nouchy ''Les Rois Caronlingiens de Francie Occidentale'' de Pépin Le Bref à Louis V (751 - 897), page 88. This copy seems to have different dies and has no globule on the reverse. The absence of the globule is the only difference with the copy of the National Library of France, given its small size it probably had to be forgotten or to be erased by wear.
