Uncentrally minted, but for this type a very nicely preserved coin. Nice relief. Good detail. Gloss and mirror residue. Very rare variety with Bogoria coat of arms in the field. Coin very rare and practically unavailable on the collector market. A rare opportunity to add an exceptional value to your collection.
