It's a bit scratchy on the obverse and the emblem on the robe right at the
bottom of the obverse seems to have been rubbed off.The reverse doesn't
seen too bad though.Will you be keeping it?

I don't think the emblem was fully formed when struck.

I'd be happy with that result looking at the chatter on the obverse
Well done mate

I agree with Stevo on the scratchy points tho it does seem the emblem was weakly struck particularly considering the fl in florin also appears weakly struck.

Well done mate

is it die polish marks - they appear to stop at the lettering and the king's effigy
