Triton XVIII, lot 769; otherwise, unpublished in the standard references. Toned, some porosity. VF. Very rare.

The Triton sale described the obverse head as wearing a bashlyk, but the type was off center on that example, obscuring the actual form of the headdress, which clearly is a crested helmet, as seen here.
