Description
- silver
An extremely attractive example with spectacular toning. The strike is perfect, with all devices clear and frosty; the fields are hard and semi-prooflike. The obverse is banded at top and bottom with electric green and purple, with the center fields a pale gold, and the star contrasting in off-white. The reverse is target-like with a pink gold center, deepening to purple-blue with the periphery a pale iridescent green.
