Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection.
Very rare with portrait left: not in Reka Devnia hoard, not in BM or Paris, not in Cohen; BMC p. 433 = RSC 278a reports a specimen in Budapest that was published by F. Gnecchi in 1907, and Glasgow too has a specimen which is now illustrated in the new RIC. Curious reverse type copied from two moneyers' denarii of Augustus, apparently depicting a procession in honor of Ceres.
