Wonderfully preserved, this broad example features the intricately detailed bust of Karl VI and glistens with full mint bloom. The reverse, despite a minor planchet flaw, is absolutely sharp. An altogether solid example of this type from the Hall mint." This type, a product of the Hall mint, was struck 1730-38 and is not rare.
