Obverse:

Traces of three men in a boat.

 

Reverse:

Thunder bolt crossing field terminating in rings, pellets beside, radial sun/clam shell above, rings to l. and r., rat object to r.

 

About very fine, struck from a very worn obverse die, light tone. Robinson class 4 - 013/R47 (die group 7).

This obverse die, Robinson 013, was used extensively and became progressively worn over time. After its pairing with this reverse die (R47), the “three men in a boat” design was recut and striking continued with a new reverse die.
