Sigismund III Vasa, Trojak 1598, Vilnius - beautiful and rare
Bust wearing crown with fan-shaped orifice.
Variety with the full date 15 - 98 separated by the mintmaster's mark "ox's head pierced with hooks" (Simon Lidman - mintmaster of the Vilnius mint) and the Chalecki coat of arms (Demetrius Chalecki - Great Treasurer of Lithuania) at the bottom on the reverse.
Condition: PCGS MS62
Slight scarcity, but a great piece for this type. Beautiful relief. Great detail. Impressive luster and mint mirror all over. A rarer vintage. Rare variety. In this state of preservation, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collector's market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
