Provenance
K Bayford, Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham Coin Fair, 5 September 1999


Bull notes 'blundered edge' but here the edge lettering is very well done. There is a star after TVTAMEN. The 9 of the date seems to be over something, but not 8 as given in both ESC and Bull. It appears to be over a 4
