At 12 o'clock a small trace from the removal of a pendant. Slightly moved top parts of the relief, but a beautifully struck and preserved piece. Plastic relief. Beautiful detail. Charming patina. Mint gloss and mirror. In such a state of preservation, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collector's market. A beautiful piece.
