Ex J.B. Collection (Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 455, 30 October 2019), lot 43, purchased Autumn 2000.
Although this particular issue is not listed in Thompson, the style of the obverse of the die used here is identical to that found on some issues at Amphipolis (cf. Thompson pl. 21, 202), suggesting they are the product of a single engraver.
