A very thin, broad "puddle" of silver with several "drip blobs" on top, the two full, circular, crowned-C tax-stamps (one fully detailed) for Charles I near edge but fineness closer to center with all but the L X "hammered out" (reason unknown), neatly corner-cut assayer's "bite" in edge, nice silver color all over with only localized corrosion.
