Breen-1124, W-5635 variety, the Inimica Tyrannis Americana obverse, Small Circle reverse type.  Considered to be Rarity-7.

Simply one of the coolest coins in the entire colonial series.

Based on a design put forth by Thomas Jefferson, this issue bears the distinctive image of Diana the Hunter (symbolic of freedom) trampling the English crown, surrounded by the legend INIMICA TYRANNIS AMERICANA (America Opposed to Tyranny).  The reverse mimics a sketch done by Jefferson depicting stars representing the original colonies with the legend CONFEDERATIO (Union) above and the 1785 date below.

And this is a presentable example with even mahogany brown color and no singularly distracting marks.
