Not as abundant as either the 1830-Go or 1832-Go, we have only five examples recorded with two different crown varieties. The countermark is deeply applied with clear bold details and an interesting diagnostic crack where the queen's ordinal "II" appears as "И". The host is decently preserved with nice even wear on the high points and rich mottled patina. Evidence of a past cleaning is apparent, though long since toned over and now somewhat attractive.
