From the Gasvoda Collection. Ex Edward J. Waddell Inventory 51874 (February 2015); Elsen 99 (28 March 2009), lot 1204; Elsen 94 (15 December 2007), lot 88.

From the consignor: This is an extremely rare fraction. Kraay indicates it is from Laos while HN calls it a coin of Sybaris. Whichever the case, there are only five listed in CoinArchives.
