Liszka (mint mark of Otto von Meppen - mayor of Riga) to the left divides the obverse inscription on the reverse.
The full date 1616 ends the obverse obverse inscription.
Variety of the inscription with the title of the king ... POL in the rim on the obverse and ... RIGE ... in the rim on the reverse.
Error - in the titulature stamped ...REEX... instead of ...REX... - very rare.
Condition: NGC MS64
Greatly minted and preserved coin. Beautiful relief. Intense luster and mint mirror. Mint condition confirmed by a very high NGC grade. Very rare error in titling - REEX In this state of preservation, the coin is very rare and very difficult to get on the collector market. A beautiful piece for specialized collections.
