The model for this design was taken from France. The reverse features a “cereal wreath.” The design detail to check for sharpness of striking is the hair on the obverse. The reverse is generally sharply struck with weaknesses usually limited to the wreath details. The dentils are generally sharp on both sides. Generally, few coins survive in the higher grades, e.g. Fine and above.
