Sigismund III Vasa, Trojak 1597, Poznań - branch, three lines - pierced
Narrower bust of the king wearing a crown with a lily and arches.
Variety with the coat of arms Lewart in the shield and the initials I - F (Jan Firlej - Great Treasurer of the Crown) on the sides of the shield on the left side, and the sign "rose" in the shield and the initials H - R (Herman Rüdiger - Administrator of the Poznan mint) on the sides on the right side. At the bottom between the shields a mintmark "branch with three berries" (Jan Dittmar - administrator of the Poznan mint).
On the reverse side an inscription in three lines.
Inscription variation with the king's titular SIGI 3 D G - REX PO M D L on the obverse and ...POLO 97 on the reverse.
Mistake - on the reverse in ...TRIP... the letter I has been stamped with the letter G, punctuated with TRI/GP - rare.
Interesting fact - in ...POLO... the letter O stamped twice.
