L&M-473; K-245; KM-Y-86; WS-0586. Variety with wide-mouthed dragon. A VERY RARE type and variant, this minor displays very little from the noted cleaning, with some hints of peripheral toning evident near the peripheries. Meanwhile, the detail remains incredibly bold and alluring, with great brilliance radiating throughout as well.
