Nice specimen, I appreciate this coinage too.
Did you noticed that there is a reverse die match with one of your previous coin?

an incredible coincidence!

It isn't a truly rare coin so we can expect  a consistent number of dies.

Although not a particularly rare issue, I think all 3 coins are worthy additions to any lrb collection.
