Sigismund I the Old, Grosz 1529, Torun - without I - very rare
Bust of Sigismund I the Old with crown.
Royal Prussian Eagle variant with sword in hand on the left (heraldically).
Inscribed variation with the king's titula SIGIS REX ... PRVS (without the I) and an obverse inscription on the reverse ending in ... PRVSS - very rare (CNCT R7).

A nicely minted and preserved piece. A very rare and underrated variant of the SIGIS REX (without the I) titulary. An attractive piece.
