This coin comes from the world famous collection of Archer Huntington.

This coin was sold by Jean Elsen in his Huntington Sale ( Auction Jean Elsen sale 115 of 8 December 2012 lot 189. Sotheby’s did not print an auction catalogue but distributed an USB-stick with photo files. The Huntington collection number is 2417.
“Archer Milton Huntington (March 10, 1870 – December 11, 1955) was an American philanthropist and scholar, primarily known for his contributions to the field of Hispanic studies.

Huntington grew up in a wealthy family: he was the son of Arabella (née Duval) Huntington and the adopted son of her husband Collis P. Huntington, a railroad magnate and industrialist. He may have been Collis Huntington's biological son.”
