Crowned double-headed eagle facing, wings spread, crowned coat-of-arms on breast / Cross fleurée terminating in crowns; K in second and third quarters. MIR p. 87 note; Pannuti-Riccio –; Cayón p. 142; ME 3238; Friedberg 836. Rich yellow tone, minor edge marks. EF. From the J. Eric Engstrom Collection, purchased from Joel Coen, May 1990. The precise attribution of this issue remains a matter of discussion.
