The photographs show bright silver-coloured highlights and darker reflective areas, with the portrait and rigging visible through the holder. Please inspect all images for the individual coin's surface characteristics and appearance. Reflections alone do not establish a proof or prooflike designation; neither is recorded on the label or claimed here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eExact coin and holder\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth coin faces and a separate certification-label photograph are included.
