Provenance: J. Sazama Collection, Part VIII, DNW Auction 111, 12 June 2013, lot 918 (part)

This coin and a handful of similar specimens struck by Goldwine are conventionally attributed to Canterbury because of obverse die-links with other Canterbury-signed coins by the moneyers Reinaud, Samuel and Simon (see Allen, BNJ 1989, p.47, f/n 13)
