Toned, well struck with a delightful portrait, for this rare first coinage of the Groat as a new denomination, some light scuffs and scratches thankfully not on the portrait and coin does not appear to have been ever mounted like so many examples of this coinage are due to their popularity in later use as pilgrim's badges, good very fine, very rare thus.
