Superlative strike; sharp and complete, and SCARCE as such.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse double-struck, tiny scratch on right of lamb, a couple of tiny dents in rim - suggestive of former fit in a 4-pronged bezel.</p><p><br /></p><p>The double strike is probably why the obverse was struck up so perfectly, as the flan remained in the obverse die for two strikes. Distinguishable from the cheaper Jean &amp; Wenceslaus Brabant issue by the use of &#039;REX&#039; instead of &#039;DVX&#039; on obverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
