Remarkably pristine for the issue, this beautifully centred specimen is struck on an exceptionally broad flan, revealing the complete obverse and reverse legend in crisp detail. Delicate underlying lustre shimmers across the surfaces, lending depth and warmth to its appearance. The harmony of sharp detail, fine preservation and generous proportions gives this coin an alluring beauty and distinguished presence an example deserving a place in a carefully curated collection. Rare.
