[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2130613, member: 39084"]Here is the redacted text: "[B]Heavily tooled on reverse...[/B]" Basically, the entire reverse is re-engraved to bring out the devices from the smoothed field. My guess is that because the obverse portrait is fairly artistic and the fields are not overly smoothed, the coin is estimated at CHF 3000. But purchasing a bronze that's so heavily tooled on the reverse would be a huge compromise for most collectors.[/QUOTE]
