Vern's Comments:

This example isn't as nice as the other onsite but in fact appears to be a variant of it. A close comparison of the two obverses shows that they are slightly different with the legend on this one being further away from the bust than on the other. On the reverse there is a distinct difference in the rings of "rays". While this one is quite plain there is a second circle within the rays on the other as well as decorative edging.
