Ex Roma Numismatics Ltd., E-Sale 103, 24 November 2022, lot 3.
Interestingly, this example of the type displays a die-engravers error in the spelling of the name Vandiilos, with the N and D swapped as well as the N being reversed to И, as can be seen very clearly on the Künker example from 2016 (eLive Auction 40, lot 7006). However, the use of the letter И is seen from other dies of the type, cf. Elsen Auction 142, lot 284.
