In outstanding, excellent condition. The details of the artwork on both sides are extremely well-preserved and crisp, nearly pristine. There are some small dings to the raised edge but no significant scratches or any other flaws (other than typical manufacturing imperfections). A very attractive even toning to silver throughout.

Souvenir jettons such as this one were sold throughout the city during the anniversary celebrations. Most however were in brass, including the brass version of the piece offered here. The silver version of this jetton is fairly scarce, especially in a premium condition.

Please note, the penny in our photo is for size reference.
