Sigismund III Vasa, Shelrog 1610, Riga - errors - b. rare
Monogram type II (Marzęta).

Liszka (mint mark of Otto von Meppen - mayor of Riga) to the left divides the obverse inscription on the reverse.
The full date 1610 completes the obverse obverse inscription.
Error - a C instead of a G is struck in the king's titulary - rare.
Error - in the obverse obverse inscription in ...RIGENS... stamped C instead of G, ...RICENS... - rare.
Error - in the obverse obverse inscription in ...CIVI... the letter C was stamped D and the letter V was stamped twice, ...C/DIWI - very rare.
Condition: 2+
Slight off-centerness and local scarcity, but a very nicely preserved piece. A very rare and practically unheard of blemish. A beautiful piece for specialized collections.
