Interesting type in nice condition with crowned coat of arms of the autonomic period under the Crown. The first year of the dentilated border and small date style which was in use till 1876. There were 3 varieties of the Obv. in 1872. This coin represents less common harlequin pattern grid of the top crown and classified as Obv. die 2:



Die 2 - top crown: sides engraved with elongated diamonds, bottom decorated by a wavy line, representing merged pearls. The left side (to the right for observer) has distinguished two columns of diamonds.



For high interest of collectors to the classification of varieties and dies' changes it was decided to publish basic classification at Numista catalog en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21085.html with images of this very coin for easy attribution of this uncommon variety.
