Sigismund II Augustus, Troyak 1562, Vilnius
On the obverse a monogram crowned with the third type of Crown (Cesnulis/Ivanauskas).
On the reverse, the first type of Pogon (Cesnulis/Ivanauskas) not placed in the shield.
Inscribed variety with the king's titulature on the obverse ending in .... L and an obverse inscription on the reverse ... TRIP ... L
A punctuation variant with a three-part dashed line dividing the otolithic inscription on the obverse and a cross dividing the otolithic inscription on the reverse.
Condition: NGC MS63
A double struck but beautifully preserved piece. Intense luster and mint mirror. Mint condition confirmed by a very high NGC grade (max. note). This is one of the four pieces that received the highest NGC MS63 note. In this state of preservation, the coin is quite rare and quite difficult to obtain on the collector market.
