Readonly struct property vs member variable

What would make the difference between

readonly struct Values{
  float MyValue { get; }
  // .. constructor
}

readonly struct Values{
  float MyValue { get; }
  // .. constructor
}

and

readonly struct Values{
  readonly float MyValue;
  // .. constructor
}

readonly struct Values{
  readonly float MyValue;
  // .. constructor
}

I see the approach using the property lose it's value here, since the struct is already readonly (e.g. copying is useless) Is there a 'better' method between these two? Or better said, why would anyone even use the first approach?

No Difference really except when you use reflection on them, afaik and the latter one is faster to access since ur accessing it directly instead of accessing the backing field through the getter
