Obverse: St. Michael standing facing, head right, spearing dragon to lower right with spear topped by cross crosslet; Reverse: Ship bearing shield and cross; Һ and rose flanking cross. Presenting a light golden-yellow hue and a rather strong and appealing strike for the issue, this popular type from a famous reign stands as a representative far superior than its technical assessment would otherwise lead one to believe.
