Gomes-85.13. Weight: 3.88 gms. A RARE variety with inverted "D" on obverse. This charming hammered silver issue delivers strong details with great centering. Limitedly worn, its details designation is due to the mild corrosion that has made the surfaces slightly porous. The piece remains highly appealing overall, with no distractions and an overall wholesome look.
