Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection; ex Triskeles 21 = VAuctions 326, 29 Sept. 2017, 409. Definitely a new bust type for this reverse type, but hard to identify with any of the other types described by Woytek, because of the poor condition of our coin and of several of the others that Woytek identifies and illustrates..
