In I JARIQUE (Zaragoza, 1988), on page 43, José Ignacio Sáenz Díez notes that "the very few examples discovered have damaged borders, making it impossible to determine either the mints or the years of issue". This example, like all others, also has this problem, but it is the best one known. 1.26 g. (MBC+). Estimate: 150 EUR |  |
