The rosette has an eagle globe and anchor at its center: the globe is quite convex and shows both longitude and latitude lines.

CONDITION: 7 (Very Fine): The rosette shows areas of light to medium wear and tarnish.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
