Provenance

From the John Chatwin Collection of English Hammered Coins

SNC, February 1985, no. 106* - slight edge chip, otherwise good VF - £450




Regrettably Naismith's record of the provenance prior to 1985 is not correct on account of the Drabble (1943, lot 832) recorded as his (f), being unquestionably the NCirc, March 1944, no. 24520 coin.
