Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Letter of 17 October 1783 (from Amsterdam): from which van Damme originally chose four aurei in exchange for one Ptolemaic gold mnaieion of the ΘΕΩΝ ΑΔΕΛΦΩΝ type, but the exchange revealed itself to be extremely complicated: van Damme sent back two of the four aurei, one of which he correctly recognised as being fake (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, MK 63; Dekesel - Dekesel-De Ruyck 2022, p. 588, note 41)
