Obverse:

A few light marks otherwise good fine or better and toned. Substantial eye appeal being struck on a neat, round and problem free flan, which is considerably rare for this denomination. As Jacob notes "the majority of the testoons were badly struck and close study is frequently impossible, or at best, difficult on account of this poor striking".
