COLLECTION NO. 1260

Provenance: ex S. Luethi collection

Very rare and desirable reverse type. The variant with emperor on horse to left is much rarer than the variant with emperor on horse to right

Only the 3rd example of this type known (the other two cited by Alfoldi are in public collections; C. Oliva has a similar example but with different depiction of the enemy which Alfoldi lists under no. 092.006)
