Comment
Size: 48 x 48 mmSquare lead klippe trial strike for a gold or silver riyal (as Y-G17 or Y-17), 48x48mm, 4mm thick, presumably for die pair test, EF. Nearly as struck with glossy dark patina appropriate for age with no corrosion; highly attractive. Completely unpublished, presumably unique as a klippe.
