Attwood 680 var., 71 mm, 29.10 g, marked B.M. near the lower edge of the obverse, Lugt 25959 - a beautiful dark chocolate brown early cast with a prestigious provenance.

The enigmatic inscription “Quod huic deest me tourquet” (That in which she is most wanting torments me) has been interpreted as a reference to Isabella Boschetti (the beautiful Boschetta) made famous by Tizian.
