Struck in vivid lemon-colored gold with bold designs, which are especially evident on the often-incomplete reverse shield, as well as legends that display consistently sharp execution. Slightly satiny surfaces contribute to the immensely gratifying, sparkling luster on both sides. As one might expect from a coin once part of the legendary Millennia Collection, its condition is nothing short of elite for the issue, with its combination of strike, surface quality and eye-appeal being incredibly difficult to surpass.
