Baron Pasquale Pennisi di Floristella acquired the coin in Sicily most likely and before 1865 since it was published by Antonio Salinas Le monete delle antiche citta di Sicilia (Palermo 1867) pl.8 6. His grand-son Salvatore Pennisi sold it to Jacob Hirsch in 1937 or early 1938 who sold it to Arthur S. Dewing on January 13 1945 (Carolyne's birthday).
