Although it is unquestionably a business strike, specimen quality can be ascribed this diminutive gold coin, as the devices and lettering all display fine, fleecy texture that contrasts well with the very slightly reflective fields. A stunning gem that demonstrates how much eye appeal can be condensed down into a tiny package. Phenomenal!
