A scribed circular cartouche to the front face contains a pair of lions, engraved within a finely punched ground - see image 4. Height - 3 1/8" (80mm). Weight - 2.49oz Troy, 77.3 grams. *Tested, extremely high grade - consistent with Britannia standard. Condition: Very Good. No dents or cracks and no repairs.
