One of the more abundant dates from this mint, we have seven documented for all Y.II. crown variants (5-4-3-III[1], 5-4-1-II[4] and 5-3-1-I[2]). The countermark is deeply impressed with bold details on a well-worn host displaying rich pervasive gray patina with an iridescent sheen that pops out when tiled in the light. A long thin arched pin scratch in noticed on the obverse, as indicated on the NGC insert; long since toned over matching the rest of the coin.
