Well centred, good very fine and very rare.

Ex Spink & Son, with their ticket and Noble Numismatics Sale 54 (lot 1672). The style and fabric suggests a life time mint, but while many similar monograms are noted by Thompson, this one is not identified, suggesting a very minor mint in the Pergamon area.
