From the Arthur M. Fitts III Collection. Ex Dix Noonan Webb 90 (9 December 2010), lot 896 (there as a contemporary imitation).
The cataloger of this coin in the DNW sale considered it to be a contemporary imitation, likely from Lippe in Germany, based on the unusual reverse. C&T, however, records this reverse legend in the Brussels Hoard, though only form two examples and not paired with this obverse.
