Distinquishing features of this variety are OB: 1 in date to the left of trunk, small ship, 15 rays, 13 leaves, bush top at water line. RX: narrow-spaced A.D. A second example, this one shows a hub centering dot as varieties described as having two dots between "A.D.". My other example does not show this upper dot, so it may have worn off due to die polishing. It may actually qualify as another variety.
