Variety with a center-grained edge and repunching at the base of the 7 in the date. Lustrous chocolate with slightly reflective fields. Very sharply struck. The only defect is some crud in a few protected areas. These restrikes were produced by W. J. Taylor of London circa 1860 to satisfy collector demand. This piece comes with a very nice provenance that has been traced back more than a century. Listed on page 78 in the 2023 "Redbook." Weight 143.2 grains.
