Property of a London gentleman. In the Numismatic Chronicle of 1891, pp. 130-131, when describing the British Museum example of this very rare coin, Warwick Wroth wrote, 'This curious tetradrachm ... resembles in type and style the coins of Nicomedes II, and was probably struck in his reign. The fillet-border probably copied from Seleucid coins and the symbol of the palm on the reverse differentiate it, however, from other tetradrachms of the Bithynian kings. It is further remarkable for having the blundered legend NIKOMH??? and the impossible date T?... M. Waddington suggests that T? is blundered for the date H?, i.e. 180 of the Bithynian era, corresponding to 118-117 BC.'
