Sambon* Collection; in or after 1947, acquired by Vernon Hall (Madison, WI); 23 October 1974, gifted by Vernon and Sandra Hall (Madison, WI) to the Elvehjem Art Center [now called Chazen Museum of Art]. * Though the object file does not specify, this probably refers to the collection of either Jules Sambon, or his son Arthur, both of whom were numismatists.
