Eagle/Pegasus bronze ingot (Aes Signatum)- reverse
This reverse image was taken from a scan of plate I. I am convinced the two ingots are the same specimen and have added the red arrows to point out some of the diagonostic similarities on both sides, including the line where the modern restoration is attached to the main piece, even 151 years ago. Differences in the reported weight are noted. The Greau specimen sold for 1050 French francs to Rollin & Feuardent, the most expensive lot of nearly 5000 in the sale. No, I do not have an example of this.
