[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 8277400, member: 110350"]Thanks; I'll seriously consider it. I've never been in touch with Clare Rowan before, although I do have her book, and do know (through a number of emails) Liv Mariah Yarrow, the author of a companion book in the same series. Too bad that there's no provenance attached to the tessera. "Private British collection" isn't very helpful.

Dattari Collection (presumably indirectly, from someone who bought a large number of Dattari coins at some point), whether this one originally came from Dattari as well.
