Ex BCD Collection (Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 311, 25 September 2013), lot 284.While BCD's collector ticket indicates the coin was studied by Lavva (the ticket reads "Info lost by Lavva!" in the area normally reserved for provenance), it is not clear which coin this is in her study. It may be her 81d, a BCD coin with a die axis of 3h and weight of 5.94g. Her illustration for 81 is labeled V41, but it is actually from the same die as her V42, so it seems there was some confusion as to the identification of the dies for this issue.
