Ex E.J. Harris (Dix Noonan Webb 56, 11 December 2002), lot 10; E.W. Rashleigh (Sotheby, Wilkinson, & Hodge, 21 June 1909), lot 645 (part of); Henry Webb Collection (1809-1894; with ticket in his hand [Eaglen C72]); John Frederick Neck Collection (circa 1835-1910); 1873 Northampton Hoard.
The coin is accompanied by a ticket in the hand of Henry Webb, indicating it originates from the 1873 Northampton Hoard, which was published by John Frederick Neck ("On a hoard of Edward I coins discovered at Northampton, with remarks on the coinage of Edward I, II, and III," in NC V.2 [1882]).
