cf. L&M-422; K-170y; cf. Y-257; cf. WS-0672. RARE. Seven circles in legends without dots, and two circles below fiery pearl. An attractive example with signs of handling consistent for the grade displaying light wear atop of the devices. Lovely multicolor patina coupled with brassy tone gives this piece a nice wholesome look. Eduard Kann describes this type as an essai. An important and interesting issue that seldom appears on the market sure to add depth to the next collection it enters.
