provenance
Glenister I, Spink 190, 27 September 2007, lot 478
Purchased Spink, 2 February 1945, with old Baldwin [?] ticket, stating: "very rarely up for sale"

Intriguingly the obverse die pairs with an example from the Schneider collection for the type Ib issue (new lettering, lys in centre of reverse), perhaps suggestive of this type representing a transitional muling between the two classes.
Estimate: £600 - £800
