PCGS authenticated and graded AU 55. Attractive medium brown with peeps of faded copper tones around the peripheries, particularly the protected areas around GEORGIVS and VOCE. Well struck with smooth surfaces and nice eye appeal. The fleur-de-lis decorated basket in which Britannia sits is thought to belong to a hot air balloon, the first of which made its ascent in September 1783, the same month the Treaty of Paris signed marking the official end of the Revolutionary war.
