Purchased from CNG E-Auction 449 (The Michel Prieur Collection), lot 373. From the Michel Prieur Collection, purchased from Richard McAlee, 2000. This coin was not part of the Prieur collection at the time of his book’s publication. The auction cataloguer attributed this coin as Cf. 1735b; this is clearly wrong as the portrait on this coin is very fine with cuirass and drapery whereas 1735b is very crude and is a bare bust.

Prieur 1740B (obverse and reverse die match)
Prieur lists this coin under "Atypical Coins" and lists several possible mints and rulers based on the various styles of the obverse and reverse. The reverse legend on my coin is complete (Prieur's isn't). Prieur states it is obviously not an official issue.Charles M
