This coin and the Orbiana below (Lot 945) should have been part of the Harlick Collection (which is offered in this sale). Both were purchased by him from the CNG Coin Shop in December of 2012, but the package containing both of the coins disappeared in shipping. Although the package was finally located and delivered to the Harlick address, it was unfortunately several weeks after Mr. Harlick had passed away.
