You hardly ever see these coins in uncirculated condition, or anything close to it. The example in our picture comes from respected eBay seller petrus.fabricius in Hungary, and it is in great shape. Petrus' coin sold for $30 in a 2014 eBay auction.

CoinQuest thanks petrus.fabricius for use of the coin image. It's a nice one.
