From the estate of Thomas Bentley Cederlind.
This combination of obverse legend and reverse type and legend is only known with a laureate obverse bust, but it appears radiate on this specimen. The coin has a depression in this area, and most likely was overstruck or perhaps even re-engraved at some point.
