A beautifully engraved single-year issue with reverse details that depict a radiant Madonna and child in the clouds with crowned arms supported by cherubs below. While evidence of the previous usage in jewelry remains, the primary difference is a change in surface texture, as the repairs have lessened visual evidence of contact marks and imparted a uniformly matte-like texture.
