KMX-E5; HMZ 2-1229a, Richter (Proben) 2-49. By Bovy. A rare "Dickabschlag" issue of this interesting Essai, beautifully struck with the additional planchet thickness aiding multiple strikes in rendering exceptionally crisp design details. The luster is bright beneath argent-gray tone, much of which blends the most minor of the handling marks present.
