Crowned Lion of Judah left, head facing, cradling cruciform staff with banner in raised forepaw; full legend below. A few lightly scattered marks, as well as a minor planchet flaw on the reverse, but an otherwise attractive example of this extremely rare pattern piece, featuring a complete, un-erased legend below the lion on the reverse.
