Comments
The crozier on the reverse reinforces the attribution to George, Bishop of Ostia, missus Pepin and the Pope. He comes with Pope Etienne II who, on July 28, 754 in Saint-Denis, consecrated Pepin and his sons who are made patricians of the Romans. The prelate will remain in France until his death in 798.
