The coin displays the year and the mint name within a circle surrounding the seal of Solomon (six-pointed star with a circle in its center) with beautiful motif surrounding it along the edge on the obverse.

Condition: I would grade this coin as a nice about uncirculated with all its details being very well preserved and having great eye appeal. The coin is beautiful and problem free with beautiful light toning and some residual luster. The coin has minimum wear, if any, to the highest point commensurate with its age and about circulated status. It has a few scratches and minor bag marks, which do not distract from its beauty and quality. The coin is much better than the photos suggest. It would make a great addition to your collection. Please see photos for additional condition information.
