Lacking in Gold in the reference books, but all 3 metals were struck: see the set presented in MDC 5 sale no. 409. Minimal handling marks, with much of its original lustre. Owl hallmark on the edge, with minor knocks and a blow to the scroll at 3 o'clock on the reverse. Very rare. Superb at Fleur de coin.
