Courland, Wilhelm Kettler, Trojak 1599, Mitava - erroneous date 999 at the bottom - rare
Trojak of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia (a fief of the Republic) minted in accordance with the Polish monetary system and allowed to circulate throughout the Republic.
Variety with abbreviated date 9 - 9 punctuated by an arrow (the mintmaster's mark of Hans Stippel - administrator of the Mitavian mint) at the bottom of the reverse.
Error - erroneously struck date 999 instead of 99 - rare.
Condition: 1-/2+
A beautifully struck and preserved coin for this type. Beautiful detail. Gloss and lots of mint mirror. Rarer vintage. Rare date error. In this state of preservation, a rare and difficult coin to find on the collector market. A beautiful piece for specialized collections.
