Although prepared as patterns, it is clear that many of these machine-struck coins entered circulation and accordingly show wear from handling. The date on the reverse is mis-engraved and appears to read 1404.

Closing Date and Time: 25 October 2024 at 12:01:00 ET.

All winning bids are subject to a 22.5% buyer’s fee.
