Characteristic of this type of coin, light justing and a small scratch on the obverse (visible in the photos), but a beautifully struck and preserved piece. Good detail. Gloss and lots of mint mirror. Beautiful presentation. The highest denomination of the issue of Stanislaw August Poniatowski valued and sought after by collectors. In this condition, the coin is rare and quite difficult to get on the collector's market.
