Sigismund III Vasa, Shelrogue 1609, Riga - beautiful
Monogram type I (Marzęta)
Coat of arms shield type 3 (Marzęta)
Liszka (mint mark of Otto von Meppen - mayor of Riga) to the left divides the obverse inscription on the reverse.
The abbreviated date 609 ends the obverse obverse inscription.
Variant with a small zero in the date.
Condition: NGC MS63
Minimal off-centerness, but a beautifully struck and well-preserved piece. Beautiful detail. Intense luster and mint mirror throughout. Mint condition confirmed by a very high NGC grade. This is the piece that received the highest NGC MS63 grade and is one of two pieces with an MS63 grade. In this condition, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collector market. A piece for discerning collectors.
