The pedigree of our coin, illustrated in the Berk sale and subsequently copied by Füeg to illustrate his catalog, is made uncertain by the original photographic issues, including clipping, of the image, for the Berk sale. That our coin is both the Berk and Füeg coin is confirmed by the presence of the collector’s paperwork.
