No. 154: Maesa is correct. 

I have images of eight specimens from this die pair, including this very coin, which is from Blancon List 41, 2003, 478 (not illustrated, but Blancon's employee D. Spurgarth sent me an image).

Same obv. die as H&J p. 194, top coin.

Jochen, please give exact provenances as often as you can; for example, not just "German Forum", but whose collection on the German Forum!

The LOCATION and PROVENANCE of a coin shown are a necessary component of a correct and full description, just like its weight, diameter, and die axis, though H&J have chosen to omit all such information: all they provide is the image of a coin and its description, no location, no weight, diameter, die axis.

[Jochen]

Done! I have added all information I could get.
