The authors study the limit cycles under small quadratic perturbations in the planar system with a center \[ \dot{x}=y+4x^2,\quad \dot{y}=-x+24xy, \] which is the system (r12) in the classification of all quadratic systems whose generic complexified periodic orbits define elliptic curves [\textit{S. Gautier, L. Gavrilov} and \textit{I. D. Iliev}, Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 25, No.~2, 511--535 (2009; Zbl 1178.34037)]. The corresponding first integral has the form \[ H=X^{-1/3}\left(\frac12y^2+\frac{1}{384}X+\frac{1}{192}\right), \] where \(X=1+24x\). By using the method of Abelian integrals, it is proved that the period annulus around the center at the origin can produce up to two limit cycles.
