Ex TrÉsor de Saint-Colombier-en-Sarzeau, 3606. This is apparently the sole example of this bust type used in conjunction with the Soli Invicto series. This bust type itself is extremely rare, known only from a few examples with the COMITI-AVGG NN reverse type. The Saint-Colombier-en-Sarzeau Hoard was discovered in 1976, and, among other issues, it contained a large number of folles from the London mint with militaristic bust types, including several that were unknown before.
