From the Cinquantenaire Collection, Switzerland, and from the Prospero Collection, New York Sale XXVII, 4 January 2012, 633, acquired from Spink's in London on 10 October 1983, ex Hess 247, 29 June 1978, 209. The delicate and carefully engraving of this obverse die sets it apart from most of its contemporaries: the others are much more coarse in execution and lack the nobleness of this piece. It can best be compared to the finest heads of Zeus from Olympia.
