From the Paul DiMarzio Collection, purchased from Lee Toone (Hookmoor Ancient Coins), 29 December 2011.
From Lee Toone: "The BM (British Museum) has two examples, both poorer than this one. One is an obverse and reverse die match to this coin. I know of one other example, again an obverse and reverse match to this coin, so probably struck from very few dies."
