Ex Gemini VII, 9 January 2011, lot 867 (Dr. Patrick Tan Collection)
Harl seems to have misidentifed the obverse die of the Rosenberg specimen of this coin as being his A27, when in fact it is his A28. Our coin is definitely from his A28, the same obverse die as his catalogue no. 124, pl. 13 = SNG ANS 1034
