Dannreuther places the rarity at R-2, implying that 600 to 900 are known; in the 1990-2005 period covered by his Auction Appearances data, 323 were auctioned. Stars are layed out 7 + 6, which is key, as the only use of this obverse. The reverse is carried over from BD-5, one of the Pointed 6 varieties.
