Reverse: Crowned cruciform arms, with angled scepters, and lion in cartouche at center, and divided date. Superb strike on choice flan, with lustrous devices and reflective fields. Some generally minute marks in fields. On this specimen the workmanship is so fine that it is difficult to determine if this was originally a presentation piece or item of superior finish. With delightful, ancient red tone, indicative that the coin's not been touched or fiddled with ever. Rare indeed in this quality. NGC graded MS-63.
