Minor adjustments and a slight scratch on the reverse (traces visible in the photo). A beautifully struck and well-preserved coin for this type. Beautiful detail. Luster and plenty of mint mirror finish. Charming patina. Good presentation. In this condition, the coin is very rare and very difficult to find on the collector’s market. A beautiful piece.
