Last ex Glendining 19 Mar. 1969 (238, part) and SCMB May 1969 (H2195), where pedigree is quoted as ex Whitton; however, this coin was not among the Canterbury halfgroats from the Whitton collection sold by Seaby (SCMB Aug. 1950 (CAW217) = BNJ 1945 pl.xiii, 12, being a different coin), so the Whitton source may not be sustainable
