Nicely toned and with a remarkably well-centered reverse. Test cut on the obverse, otherwise, very fine / extremely fine.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From the collection of W. F.

It is interesting to note that the stag seems to be wearing a collar, thus indicating its sacral character.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
