Etienne struck currency under his own name: Stephanus Like. R Iulius Cesar . The count adopted for type a crowned head which was that of Jules César, that Sancerre recognized like his founder. Behind the coin, one saw a star remembering it the comet which appeared with dead of the dictator. The head, initially from profile, then from face, returned encrore of profile but crowned.
