"Complete and fine style reverse with a pretty enamel-like green patina. The long free line on the decktop, present on only some dies of this type - but not visible on the prior lot, an as - may be a different way of showing a corvus, for which it is odd that the modern name "gangplank" is never used." - Andrew McCabe.
