From the Patrick Villemur Collection.Unique at the time of Mazard, a second example has recently been published by Alexandropoulos (MAA). Our coin is the third known specimen. Although it appears to be of the same dies as the Mazard specimen, the poor state of preservation of that coin prevents a more definite determination.
