Augustus III Saxon, Sixpence 1756 EC, Leipzig - beautiful
Bust in profile to the right wearing a crown on the obverse.
On the reverse a crowned shield of the coat of arms. Under the shield the denomination marking VI and initials E - C (Ernest Dietrich Croll - mincmaster of the Leipzig mint).
Condition: NGC MS64
A superbly struck and preserved piece. Plastic relief. Beautiful detail. Intense luster and mint mirror over the entire surface. Mint condition of the coin confirmed by a very high NGC grade. In such a state of preservation, the coin is quite rare and difficult to find on the collector's market. A piece for discerning collectors.
