Comment
Rare plaque, type of association Luxembourg-Bar.The average weight of 7 pieces analyzed was 3.79 g.
Despite the small number of known copies, Weiller was able to identify a fairly large number of legend variants. For more details see Weiller, p. 34. Do not rely too much on the legend variants of a single author, some inaccuracy is given for this plaque. A number of legend variants seem to be missing in the Weiller. Probst does not indicate any, just mentions "variants of legends".
