Condition Report

It is our opinion that this coin has not been mounted in a brooch or other. Under a loupe, there do appear to be some scuff marks on the top edge (see images). Under a loupe, the reverse ground has fine pitting throughout. The images online do give a true representation of the coin. No obvious major scratches. Considering the above, this still remains a nice example.
