Good to Fine condition. Nice color with details that are still sharp, some spots of minor corrosion that do not adversely affect the Empress' profile or the allegorical figure on the reverse, five or six edge knocks on the rim including one at one o'clock on the obverse and ones at three, seven and nine o'clock on the obverse, none of which are slightly detracting.
