Sigismund III Vasa, Grosz 1626, Vilnius - rare and beautiful
Variety with the Hound not placed in the shield.
Different bust type from the next flight (Ivanauskas 48).
Condition: NGC MS64
Sheet tip and minor stamp flaws, but a superbly struck and exquisitely preserved piece. Plastic relief. Beautiful detail. Intense luster and perfect mint mirror throughout. Mint condition confirmed by a very high NGC grade (only one piece received a higher grade ). In this state of preservation, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collector's market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
