Bravo Guy ! I’ve never seen a sharper strike for this rare type. Just freshly struck from the mint.

That is a nice example, envious. Do yo have any provenance? There aren't many and the obverse flan shape looks familiar.

Familiar for me too. I checked my files and found these two for sale last April, but way too expensive for my tiny budget !
