Ex private French collection and from the Banasa / El Ksar Hoard of 1907 (IGCH 2307).

The Banasa Hoard, deposited in circa AD 18-17, was found in 1907 near modern day Souk-el Arbaa, 120 km northeast of Rabat, Morocco. The hoard was previously said to be from Alkazar (El Ksar El Kebir), 70 km south of Tangiers, and hence is occasionally referred to as the El Ksar Hoard. The group contained approximately 4,000 silver coins and one bronze.
