Choice full crown and monogram and cross, with lovely toning and very clean surfaces (lacking the usual porosity found on specimens from wetland burial or shipwreck), bold full mintmark and assayer, much legend, holed to right of cross / near top of crown but otherwise much finer than the other known specimen from these dies (Plowman MR.Xo.A), the reverse in fact a die-match with the previous lot from assayers P-M, one of just three known varieties for assayer oX.
