John III Sobieski, Sixth of 1684 SP, Bydgoszcz - beautiful, rare and illustrated
Bust in profile to the right wearing a laurel wreath and armor covered with a cloak. With single scratched epaulettes and with four rivets in the upper ferrule of the cuirass.
Under the bust the initials S P (Samuel von Phachter - minter of the Bydgoszcz mint).
Variety with the coat of arms of Jelita (Marcin Zamoyski - Great Treasurer of the Crown) in an oval shield dividing the obverse inscription at the bottom on the reverse.

State of preservation: NGC MS62
Minor imperfections in the sheet metal, but a beautifully struck and preserved piece for this type. Deep, artistic relief. Beautiful detail. Intense luster and mint mirror. Mint condition of the coin confirmed by high NGC grade. This particular piece received the highest NGC MS62 grade and is one of two pieces with an MS62 grade. Piece illustrated in a specialized catalog of Jan III Sobieski's sixpences by Hubert Zukowski. In such a state of preservation, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collector's market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
