Punctuation variant with a colon after the date and five dots after the LITVAN - rare.

Minor scarcity in the rim, but a beautifully preserved piece. Intense luster and lots of mint mirror. Rare errors in the king's title and date. Rare variant of punctuation. A rare coin and difficult to find on the collector's market.
