Provenance: B. Woodside Collection.

William Winterbotham Woodside (1905-78), a graduate of Harvard Law School and honorary curator of coins and medals at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, from 1948 until shortly before his death, is still fondly remembered as a numismatist of the old school. He donated his collection to the Museum, but in his final days was extremely disheartened by its decision to sell their numismatic holdings
