Surface wear, a partial legend, or a missing side can change a possible match. Compare visible details with independent catalogues before drawing a conclusion.

Careful photos start with careful handling

Photograph the full front and reverse in sharp focus with even light. If you handle a loose coin, hold it by the edges over a soft surface. Leave the surface as it is: do not clean or polish it for a better picture.
