An attractive example, well-struck and evenly worn. About very fine.

From the collection of W. F. Stoecklin, Amriswil, Switzerland, ex Münzen und Medaillen FPL 181, July 1958, 35 and from the collection of Apostolo Zeno (1688-1750), III, Dorotheum, Vienna, 22 March 1957, 3744.

This coin was probably acquired by Zeno after his retirement to Venice in 1729: it almost certainly arrived in Venice during the Republic's occupation of the Morea, c. 1685-1715.
