Obverse:

PLLEMVS REX III. Crowned bust facing left with sceptre in front.

Reverse:

LEOFPOLD N PININEI. Cross fleury with annulet in centre.

Good very fine, toned and with a very rare spelling of the mint. This obverse die, with ending III for AN, was not known to Harvey. The reverse is recorded from only a single example, which is pierced - SCBI 18 Copenhagen. Part III A, number 1355 (Harvey die j - 1901).

Due to the rare rendering of the mint name, the following sales have been traced, which, given the rarity, grade and cabinet toning, may both represent this current specimen:
