 1795 Taraszka 2, Breen 2-A (R-4). Star 11 Close to Y, 13 Leaves. About Uncirculated in strict terms of wear. The initial presentation is rather appealing, there being well balanced definition and a considerable degree of bright mint frost. Further examination, however, discloses evidence of a past cleaning on either side as the coloration is overly pale. There is a short hairline scratch to the right of the 5 in the date, as well as a longer thin horizontal scratch at the central reverse. The surface quality is otherwise smoother than the norm, as there are no other defects significant enough to require special mention. A rare and highly important issue regardless of the quality level. It goes without saying that examples of this first year of denomination and type always are the object of intense collector interest. The visually enticing specimen offered here is certainly no exception!
