A particularly interesting example combining the Director’s “Hand” privy mark with the very rare “Greyhound’s Head” mark of Jacques-Jean Barre, Engraver General, used shortly before its replacement. This combination corresponds to the issue struck on April 27, 1855, of which only 2,886 pieces were struck.
