Obverse: Crowned and mantled bust of Maximilian right, holding lis-tipped scepter and palm frond; Reverse: Crowned and mantled bust of Mary of Burgundy left. This interesting cast issue, featuring some typical chasing in the fields, offers a rather deep gunmetal gray allure and great overall styling.
