Provenance

The Alfred Leonard Fuller of Bath Collection (1870-1941)

Acquired from Messrs Spink & Son, 13 April 1899 - £0.12.6

Spink Numismatic Circular, April 1899 (P.3320, no. 53056) - "A rare variety, fine" - £0.12.6



One must only wonder what Fuller thought as he gazed through the Spink trays that month, glancing over both a Petition (53058 - £75.0.0) and Reddite Crowns (53059 - £15.0.0) before opting for this piece for his cabinet.
