R-2. Rough About Uncirculated. 151.3 gns. Interesting olive brown with some pale red on the reverse. Both obverse and reverse surfaces quite rough in appearance, particularly on the back which has many light linear flaws running diagonally down from upper left to lower right. Nevertheless the piece was sharply struck and all design elements are both defined and on the flan. |
