Ex William J. Conte Collection; Holger Hede Collection (Bruun Rasmussen and B. Ahlström Mynthandel, 1 October 1994), lot 26; Hauberg Collection (Holmberg/Holger Hede, 17 June 1929), lot 295.

Malmer's analysis of her die chain 138, which is linked to a die with the title Rex Daenor, firmly places this issue at a mint in Denmark, probably Lund.
