There is moderate to considerable even wear and although the original designs are recognisable and all lettering visible, they have some weaknesses and lack details. A coin in "Fine" condition has seen a great deal of circulation. The coin should have a full or almost full inscription, while some letters may be weak. Hairlines and other smaller details such as headgear, dress folds and facial features will show significant flatness, although the major devices on the coin will be fully outlined. |
