28.6 mm. 103.5 grains. Coin alignment. Mottled pastel blue and pale gold toning decorates attractive light silver gray surfaces. Good luster, with some reflectivity remaining. Scattered tiny marks are present, none serious, though we note a little scuff low in the right obverse field. A very pretty piece with a great old provenance.
