• Collection: National Museum of Denmark

Notes

• Note: Now lost. Held in the National Museum of Denmark until the date of the publication of Andreas Alföldi (1937), who published the photo of it. The reverse type is uncertain due to the poor condition of the token. It cannot be excluded that the obverse-reverse combination matches Bricault & Mondello type no. 18 (= OT11 + RT34).
