The only specimen the cataloguer has seen
The extraordinary reverse design with its oval shields and sunken border is like nothing seen on the adopted coinage either before or since. It does however, with its incuse numerals and delineated borders, echo the contemporary designs of Küchler used on the copper 'Cartwheel' coinage of 1797.
Ex Farouk; Ex Murdoch; Ex Montagu; Ex Brice; Ex St. James's Auction 2, May 11, 2005, lot 360.
