Sigismund III Vasa, Trojak 1598, Vilnius - very rare
Bust wearing crown with tubular orifice.
Variety with the full date of 15 - 98 separated by the mintmaster's mark "ox's head pierced with hooks" (by Simon Lidman - mintmaster of the Vilnius mint) and the Swan coat of arms (by Andrzej Zawisza - Great Treasurer of Lithuania) on the reverse.
Condition: NGC UNC Details
Coin with a hole. Most likely, the disc was punctured as a result of being struck by a sharp tool. Despite the damage, it is a beautifully struck and preserved piece for this type. Beautiful detail. Mint gloss and mirror finish. Coin in NGC slab, due to mechanical damage did not receive a numerical note, but was graded as an uncirculated piece. In this condition, the coin is very rare and difficult to obtain on the collector market. A piece for discerning collectors.
