Sigismund III Vasa, Shelagus 1612, Riga - undescribed
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 full date 1612 or 1012 ??? finishes the obverse obverse inscription.
An inscription variation with the title of the king ... POL in the rim on the obverse and ... RI .... in the rim on the reverse - not described in Dariusz Marzęta's specialized catalog of Lynx sherds.
Condition: 2
Slight sheet and minting defects, but a very nicely preserved piece. Interesting date 1012??? Undescribed inscription variety. An attractive coin.
