Sigismund III Vasa, 1617 Shelrogue, Vilnius - rarer
Variety with full date 16 - 17 on the sides of the royal monogram on the obverse and with simple coat of arms shields on the reverse.
Bogoria coat of arms (of Hieronim Vollovich - Grand Treasurer of Lithuania) in the rim on the reverse.
The mintmark "Angles" (after Ivanauskas) ends the obverse inscription on the reverse.
Condition: NGC MS63
An off-centered obverse, but a superbly struck and preserved piece. Excellent detail. Gloss and mint mirror all over. Rarer and underrated variety with full date. A beautiful coin.
