Owner's Description

An obvious proof striking from arm's length, the fields are deeply mirrored on each side. The original gray-tan color of the copper-nickel alloy has taken on a surprising amount of even reddish patina, and if one did not know better this piece could be confused with a later bronze composition. Fully struck.
