Ok, so it's cupro-nickel. And the box is in less than stellar shape. And the coin has some hairlines in the obverse fields.
But aside from those minor details, this is a super cool piece. Prooflike, great big & chunky 28.28 grams @ 38.61 mm diameter and 3.2mm thick! It's nearly 70 years old. And that's one of the best deep-dish sharp-edged renderings of Pistrucci's St. George ever done.
And I'm just looking for $18 shipped:
We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.
