PCGS SP65 (33004774).
Special strike (SP) on bronze (or brass or yellow copper, or even gilded bronze) blank. The edge is smooth. A few known examples, including Palombo 14 no. 420 (CHF 12500) and rarer than the cupro-nickel proof of the same year. Minimal lack of gilding at the high points of the relief. Superb at Fleur de coin.
