Sigismund III Vasa, Ort 1616, Gdansk - lined collar - beautiful
Bust of the king with head facing right with lined collar.
Renaissance shield with the coat of arms of Gdansk supported by two lions on the reverse.
Variant with an inscription not going over the crown on the obverse.
Variant of punctuation with a colon and a large rosette ending the obverse inscription on the obverse and a small rosette before the date.
Visible and clearly legible miniature date under the base of the cartouche - rare.
Condition: NGC MS62
Minimal scarcity in the rim, without affecting legibility. Excellent and well-preserved piece. Deep, plastic relief. Impressive detail. Intenseluster and mint mirror over the entire surface. Mint condition of the coin confirmed by high NGC grade. The NGC note may not be very impressive, but the coin is beautiful. In this state of preservation, the coin is rare and quite difficult to get on the collector market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
