Denticulation absent along the left obverse and reverse with the borders in those areas flush to the tops of the letters. The upper head and the legs of the seated figure are very faint. Pleasing medium brown patina to surfaces that are overall hard and smooth with only a few trivial blemishes evident to the unaided eye.
