They say practice makes perfect , but I doubt I have enough years left to learn how to accurately grade these coins by Aussie standards , but I try !

I'm going to say aVF-VF: pearls 7,8 are worn but the center diamond is defined on all sides.
Here's a good grading reference I use.

G'day,
I agree with Kurt: all design elements are present; the wear is evenly distributed; apart from the greenish tinge around BRITT.OMN., it has nice toning.
I'd be careful to store it in as dry an environment as possible and out of diect contact with other bronze. That said, it's still a handsome piece.
