McLachlan-154, Breton-166, Charlton-3320-15-2. 45.1mm. 50.95g. Plain edge. Signed J.S. & A.B. WYON. The obverse is identical to that of Lr. 1880. The reverse, however, features a cameo bust of James Claxton above, and the legend and arrangement differ from Lr. 1880. McLachlan recorded this type as being slightly scarcer. Condition is exceptional and could hardly be improved. The fields are glossy with elements of blue, violet, and gold. Partial red remains, though each side is primarily mahogany-brown.
