KM-7.1. 1.31 grams Lustrous and choice with no wear or marks (fully Mint State in our opinion), with full monogram (dot instead of S to right) and date (four digits instead of two), full but off-center cross-lions-castles, desirable provisional issue in a truly remarkable state of preservation. NGC #3842557-001.
