From the Molard Collection, Switzerland and from the Ebert Collection, Stack's Bowers 174, 12 January 2013 (but described as being of a chocolate brown color, despite the catalogue photograph that shows it exactly as it is today).
The Ebert catalogue, from which this coin came, is notorious for omitting virtually all provenance information: with a careful search in old catalogues this coin almost certainly would be found, as it is too attractive not to have been illustrated.
