Giovanni Spano da lui donata al R. Museo di Cagliari. Parte seconda, monete e medaglie (Cagliari, 1865), no. 218 (with drawing, same as previous); found at the ancient site of Turris Libisonis (Sardinia), apparently inside a Roman grave (perhaps due to its reverse image relating to the Underworld); probably from the same pair of dies as specimen 1, perhaps even identical with the latter (cf. similar shape)
