Quote from MEC "The reading of the legends of this rare type is not clear, being largely off flan. According to Spahr, Manfred's name occurs on the side bearing the S in field, but he could not illustrate a specimen in his catalogue, and had to rely on a bad drawing. Travaini's reading was based on a clearer drawing in Marks 1858 and is closer to the reading here, though emendation in the future may be required. RARE............$ 45
