This coin was once part of the collection of the Academisch Penningenkabinet of the Hogeschool Leiden, which was disbanded in 1881. Most of their coins were subsequently incorportated in the collection of  the Koninklijk Peningenkabinet in Den Haag. Obsolete coins were sold off in batches from the 20th century onwards. A couple of these large batches, some still with original coin card holders from the late 19th or early 20th century, were offered for sale in the May 2016 Auction of MPO Heritage Europe. Later that year I subsequently purchased several individual coins from the people who won them at that May 2016 auction.
