Significant abrasions. Always hard to grade coins that were somewhat crudely made to begin with. I'd opine for somewhere in the VF range without taking the edge into account. What does that inscription read? I'm presuming it was added after the coin left the mint, and of course, that'd almost certainly result in a "details" annotation.

I see that such is documented for earlier 4 soles issues, but it's odd to see it in this instance applied over reeding. It's usually lettering, reeding, or some other edge design that was put onto the edge to combat the practice of "clipping" as well as an anti-counterfeiting measure in the times before coins were struck within the confines of a collar.
