Frosty and boldly lustrous over nice medium yellow gold surfaces. Well centered and well struck with a strong portrait and excellent aesthetic appeal. A shallow abrasion is noted under ND of IND and a more subtle one runs vertically along the king's cheekbone. Very scarce, particularly in this condition.
