Sigismund III Vasa, Trojak 1589, Riga - lily on the left - exquisite
Royal portrait with head facing right.
On the reverse the numeral III between triplets (degraded crosses).
On the reverse, the letters GE between the mintmark "lily" (by Henryk Wulf - mintmaster of the Riga mint) and a dot.
Inscribed variety with the titulature of King SIG III ... LI in the rim on the obverse.
Condition: NGC MS64
A superbly struck and preserved piece in excellent condition. Deep relief. Beautiful detail. Intense luster and mint mirror all over the surface. In such a state of preservation, the coin is rare and quite difficult to find on the collector's market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
