------------------------------------------------

NOTE: I've decided to temporarily remove the obverse image until I have a chance to do more investigation into the strange lettering in the legend and get expert opinions. I'm certain that Steve Hill of Sovereign Rarities Ltd in London, who revised the 2021 edition of Michael Marsh's classic reference book, is going to be eager to examine this coin.

Obverse pic will return in 2024. Once the coin is properly identified, I will probably show the highly detailed NGC PhotoVision views instead of the normal views.

Meanwhile, the reverse is a nice example of pivoted hub doubling (DDR), in this case running from about 8 o'clock clockwise to 1 o'clock. Hard to see on this normal view, but crystal clear on the PV view.
