Details
These usually have very deep mirrors. The repunching is quite dramatic. This die was also used for business strikes, S20. Very similar to S1. Compare date positions.
Obverse: Wide repunching visible mostly on the outside edges of the lower loops of the digits.
Reverse: Olive leaf connected to denticles. Shield points away from denticles.
