provenance
C Rochester, Spink 194, 27 Marc 2008, lot 571 (part)
Glendining, 9 December 1992, lot unspecified (acquired 16 April 1993, £120)
Reigate Hoard, 1990

Potter lists the A9 reverse for his obverse types A3 and B, but not for trefoil issues and die 4, it would therefore seem this die combination is unknown to Potter.
Estimate: £200 - £250
