Reverse: VICTORIA AVGGG Z / CONOB, Victory standing left, holding a long jeweled cross, with star in right field. A well-centered and broadly struck example with readable legends and strong gold color, showing honest circulation wear, scattered scratches, and minor surface marks consistent with its stated grade.
