Few parallels can be found for strike quality exhibited on this example, especially around the features of the Maid of Erin so often encountered flat on Commonwealth issues. The Millennia example (NGC MS63) brought $18,600 at its last appearance in May 2010. Equally the Bridgewater House specimen (lot 116) achieved AU$45,600 when sold in November 2019.
