KM-1316; Gig-84. The finest certified by PCGS, this exceptionally charming minor stands at the precipice of Mint State status, offering mostly argent surfaces with some hints of colorful iridescence near the peripheries. Augmenting its appeal is the reverse design, featuring a kneeling figure of St. Romuald holding up a crucifix while a skull gazes at the viewer to the right.
