the obverse and at two, three and seven o'clock on the
reverse). Located in the area of the Tsar's beard are two
small areas of parallel scratches which, because they are in
his beard, are not detractive. An identical set of parallel
marks appears just below the base of the bust (where they
could easily be mistaken for a set of engraver's initials!).
There is a dark area on the temple over the left eye that
would probably respond to a light polishing.
