A superbly struck and preserved coin. Beautiful, deep, plastic relief. Impressive detail. Intense luster and mint mirror throughout. A rare and underrated variety with lilies on the sides of the denomination and a crown richly decorated with floral motifs. A rare and difficult coin to find on the collector's market. An exquisite piece for the best collections.
