Glossy chocolate and olive brown with lighter brown toning on the devices creating an attractive two-tone appearance. The planchet is mostly smooth but there is a significant fissure under EC in CONNECT and an opposing fissure on the reverse. The two fissures do not meet so light does not pass through, but they are close. The date is complete and strong. Late die state (but not the latest; see the following lot) with a massive cud break on the reverse. Struck slightly off center to K-9. Weight 145.8 grains.
