    Acquired from Naville Numismatics, according to which this example is from Giovanni Dattari's famed collection and appears as coin 2808 in Dattari-Savio Plate 144 (I have not confirmed).
    Extremely rare, this coin being one of only two specimens listed in RPC (RPC IV.4, 16155), with this coin the more attractive of the two, albeit the other example may grade very slightly higher technically.
