Lost?

Martín-Esquivel and Blázquez-Cerrato (2018): En la publicación de Palol (1957) se informa de que esta pieza fue depositada en el Seminario de Arqueología de la Universidad de Salamanca; hemos tratado de localizarla en la colección numismática del Dpto. de Prehistoria, H. Antigua y Arqueología pero actualmente se encuentra en paradero desconocido.
