Crowned shield with sable supporters. Sharp details, with minimally marked surfaces, and traces of original golden luster around the peripheries. NGC has listed the wrong Brekke number. They listed the number for the plain edge variety and this piece has oblique edge milling. The 1764 Denga circulation strike is Exceedingly rare and seldom offered. The Novodel is the only type of this issue that one might see now and then.
