Sigismund II Augustus, Half-penny 1564, Vilnius
Fifteenth type of Eagle and twenty-first type of Pogo.
The Axe coat of arms divides the obverse inscription at the bottom of the reverse.
Inscribed variety with the king's titulature on the obverse ending in ... POLO M D L and an obverse obverse inscription on the reverse ending in ... LITV
Mistake - in ... MAGNI ... the letter A has been scored over the letter G and the letter G has been scored over the letter N, MA/GG/NNi - very rare.
Condition: 2+/1-
Slightly off-center and deficient in the rim, but a beautifully preserved coin. Very rare error. Piece for specialized collections.
